Pros

After working many years in a customer service roll, whether it was in retail or restaurant . I can honestly say that this job is way more different and less stressful; you don't have micro managers, your allowed to be nice to the customer, take as much time as you Ned with them to make sure that the customer 8s satisfied. Can in see myself her years down the line, growing with this company.... yessssss. As any small business you have to put in the work to make the company grow. With that being said more positions will open up and hopefully I will be in that position one day.

Cons

I truly have no cons when dealing with this company. I've only been here a year thus far and I can honestly say it's been pretty darn good.

Pros

In hindsight, I'm not sure if there were any apart from some friendly coworkers.

Cons

I infuriatingly see promotions handed out left and right via LinkedIn, but just know that actually being someone to get to that level means literally grovelling and being lucky enough to be in the good graces of the egotistical CEO. Upper management brown-noses her as their main job, and they will prevent you from any upward mobility if you're not one of her favorites (which seems to be picked based on how much you kiss up to her, and if you keep your own opinions to yourself, and other factors entirely unrelated to your actual performance). Absolutely criminally high monthly healthcare premiums, paired with insanely high deductibles, bare-minimum PTO, and mat leave. HR is a joke and not one HR employee seems to last very long. Salaries are abysmal, even by publishing standards. Most books acquired are bottom-of-the-barrel since they don't pay most of their authors much, and they have to be edited within an inch of their lives to be readable and marketable. I left the industry after this company and have never been happier.
