Pros

Comparable salaries with other publishers for set roles. Excellent benefits. Fair promotion of work/life balance (outside of busy seasons). Casual work environment.

Cons

Little advancement for non-sales oriented roles. Middle-to-upper management shows poor leadership/caring. Work/life balance during busy seasons. Convoluted hiring process (it shouldn't take 3 to 6 months a person when there's a team need). Paperwork-heavy performance review process. Poor training implementation.

Pros

Decent pay. Not much else.

Cons

No lunch break, no breaks in general, can’t go to the bathroom for hours on end, the managers’ daughter gets special treatment because her mother is in charge. Constant criticism and unfair treatment.
