Great co-workers, fun work sometimes, very easy work, Great trainers always try to teach you everything before sending you off on your own, learned many things, computer and equipment.

Management sucks and is rude, as is HR, nobody tries to help if you have a problem, the group leaders are rude, and there's gossip about everyone and everything

Pros

Amazing benefits with lots of vacation time that you are encouraged to take. Working in the book industry is exciting - especially on this level working with amazing authors.

Cons

Can be more difficult to move up in the company. Salaries stay low for a while.
