Pros

Office location. Not the actual office. That was overheated and stuffy. Nothing else. Sorry.

Cons

Compared to other publishing companies, this place was an unfriendly workplace. The best part was going home. I dreaded going in everyday. Unfriendly support staff, ver competitive peers, and lazy managers. Ugh. Truly the worst. I’ve worked in over ten publishing offices in my career, and this place ranked the lowest of the low. I was so happy to leave that toxic place behind.

Pros

Remote work and the clients are very nice to work with.

Cons

In my experience, the company's compensation practices lacked transparency and accountability. When employees asked questions about how their earnings, bonuses, or compensation were calculated, clear answers were often difficult to obtain. Decisions affecting employee pay were made without adequate explanation, and requests for clarification frequently went unresolved. What I found particularly concerning was the apparent disconnect between employee compensation outcomes and management compensation. Employees regularly experienced reduced bonuses or earnings, while management and executive leadership appeared largely unaffected by the same business decisions. This created the perception that the financial impact of those decisions was being borne primarily by employees rather than those making them. After repeatedly seeking explanations and receiving few meaningful answers, I lost confidence in the fairness and transparency of the compensation process.
