Disappointed

Pros

Challenging work, nice MACs, nice windows.

Cons

Employers treat employees like bad little children. Female owner likes to berate staff. There is so much work to do because of greed. The owners want to keep their hands on everything and they don't want to miss out on any opportunity, even if a deadline is not realistic at all. They don't care about their employees. They don't show respect. At any minute, you can become a target. They always need someone to blame. Upper management likes to hire their friends. Upper management often mimics the belittling tone of the owners. Publisher changes her mind constantly, meaning that you will have to rewrite and revise without any direction. Constantly. There is always tension and friction. Uncomfortable scenes are always happening.

The owners are into micromanaging everything- Horrible benefits- insurance, time off etc.- They pay like crap as well. Money goes to them them them- house in Pelham and Florida lots of personal time for them but not the staff. Constantly belittled!

Great people, poor culture

Pros

There are so many intelligent, dedicated and innovative people working at this company, who truly care about education. Many of them work tirelessly. That's about the only positive that can be said about this company

Cons

The owners have created a terrible culture. The expectation is to dedicate yourself to the job but without the compensation and recognition of your efforts. It is common to be yelled at and belittled and there is no recourse with HR at all. It's a private company, and you will be treated as if they own you. There is almost no allowance for personal issues, whether family or illness, the expectation is the work is getting done, no matter what. The technology is horrible, programs that don't work, no support when there's a problem, never sure if the data is right and no way to validate.
