Pros
The books. If you like to read and are interested in how a publishing company works then that's the field for you. The benefits are good.
Cons
Books are a dying art. People don't read and publishing houses are slaves to the sales department so most of the books being put out are bad creatively. It's a industry that works the worker bees hard and pay them little. Most of the women are in the worker bee position and men are the VPs and Publishers. The room for growth is difficult. My boss once told me that this is an industry for trust fund babies- believe it.
