Pros
- flexible work hours - good benefits (free exercise programs, free subscriptions to health apps, option to enroll in coupon/discount programs, variety of health/vision/dental plans to choose from, retirement offered) - generous PTO policy, plus additional time off for volunteering, bereavement, etc. - good internal hospitality (lots of opportunities for socializing both virtually and in person, programs to help new hires get comfortable, variety of clubs/groups/message threads available that focus on everything from pet photos to the LGBTQIA+ community) - criticism is offered constructively - upper management within Cell Press tends to be receptive and understanding and makes an effort to know everyone by name
Cons
- low pay. Although the pay is considered competitive compared to other companies within the industry, the industry itself tends to offer low pay. - internal diversity initiatives are geared towards inviting marginalized groups into a privileged environment instead of dismantling the privilege to create a non-exclusionary environment. - high employee turnover rate - upper management within Cell Press's parent company often disregards criticism from employees
