Pros

* Hardworking employees * Decent benefits, including onsite fitness center, paid time off, subsidized cafeteria * Interesting subject matter--sports, fitness, and health * Pleasant physical working conditions. Clean, health-focused environment.

Cons

* Company hasn't successfully adapted to a changing publishing environment. * Online and web presence is embarrassing. Website and courses are unappealing and very difficult to use. * Management is not very creative, and only recently made a commitment to new forms of electronic media. * No employer contributions to 401(K). ESOP shares provided to employees have drastically fallen in value. * Two rounds of layoffs in the past decade. * Top-down management. Suggestions from rank-and-file employees are typically dismissed.

Pros

Human kinetics offers flexible scheduling, subsidized cafeteria, workout facilities, courtyard access for most of the year, employee-owned. Each department has its own personality, but all around, employees tend to have a positive attitude about the workplace. The committees (employee advisory, social, diversity-inclusion, community service, and wellness) give employees opportunities to be involved wherever they are passionate.

Cons

The compensation is on the lower side which can make working here challenging for a single income household. Employees are specialists in their areas with little crossover. Sometimes more efficient or valuable methods might exist, but since we don't always know what everyone else is doing, we can't always identify those opportunities.
