      Pros

      Occasional free lunches, beer/wine in office, some very creative and talented colleagues

      Cons

      Married tag-team at the top of the hierarchy, and one of the two thrives on making people cry--daily. She seems to take pleasure in upsetting the apple cart as often as possible, and it's no surprise that some people last for less than a day. Most of the people I knew there were planning their escape (it felt like a place you had to escape--it was that toxic, because of this individual and the chaos that swirled around her). Do yourself a favor and stay away!

      Terrible Environment for Workers

      Pros

      You will work with a lot of talented people. The company has been growing at a time when its competitors have been cutting back. The offices have a nice view although I would have preferred a door!

      Cons

      There are two top executives and it is kind of a "good cop, bad cop" situation. One is reasonable and the other is not. That one made embarrassing comments about my weight, and I heard her make many other comments that were very rude, having to do with someone's appearance ("you look like a cancer patient", to a woman with short hair). As is often mentioned here that executive spends very much of the time yelling. It is the executive's management style. It drives a lot of talented people away and it hurts continuity within projects, it decreases the institutional memory and it is crushing to morale and productivity. The company has a very bad reputation in the very small educational publishing industry because of this executive's actions, tone and demeanor.

      Pros

      - Snacks and beverages in the kitchen all the time. - Nice office space

      Cons

      - The owners of the company are a husband and wife, and employees can frequently hear them yelling at each other or at employees. - One of the owners will walk around the office yelling at/for people to come to her office.
