Pros

- The benefits at this company, which is a large company, are more than reasonable - Free books and summer Fridays - Beyond its bestsellers, there are a number of diverse authors and titles that are given a chance under this publisher, and getting to work on those projects is a good feeling

Cons

- Low pay and considerable overwork - A general lack of diversity across the company - Very little recognition, including a lack of growth, development, or potential for promotion - Often new tasks will be subtly added to your job that you will not be compensated or commended for, but of which you will be held responsible for, even if this function is intended to be performed by someone else in your department - Toxic coworkers are allowed to do as they please and are often awarded for bad behavior

Pros

Great benefits, good leadership within imprints, incredible flexibility with office vs. hybrid.

Cons

Communication between higher ups rarely makes its way down and the goals of a team are often not said explicitly, making one feel unsure of what's valued most.
