Pros

Great people, excellent thinkers, company has good benefits and perks, challenging and rewarding, people really care about the industry and books in general, pay is highest out of all the book publishing companies, will love if you like to work faced-paced

Cons

Pay is low compared to other industries, a lot of work and things to keep in line, not for the un-organized

Pros

It is a calm and enjoyable open office environment. I work for a large company of over 1,000 employees, but specifically work under the DK imprint and it feels like it's own small company. The managers are very flexible and understanding with personal life as long as you do your job, generous vacation time, sick days, personal days (comes from being owned by a European company) and benefits are decent. Not a stressful environment most of the time, management is supportive. You are exposed to many other parts of the publishing industry due to being such a small office which is great way to learn new skills.

Cons

Because we are so small not much room for advancement. Salary is not as competitive as in other industries, but you do receive a lot other benefits which helps a little.
