Pros

*Fellow employees are passionate about book publishing both as an art and as a business. *Low-key work environment; not too buttoned-up. *Access to great books.

Cons

*Low salary (especially for entry-level workers). *Difficult to move up. *Managers are often extremely busy (understandably so) and it can be difficult to establish a mentoring relationship.
