Good people; bad pay.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good facilities and people. They encourage cross company communication.

Cons

It can be slow to progress with all the red tape surrounding promotion and pay increases. I had a decent salary for the company but it’s not comparable to doing the same role in a different industry. Publishing needs to address its salary failings.
