Pros

Central location + free books

Cons

There is no management in this office. A lot of managers are incompetent and have no work ethic, and as a result the whole team suffers from chaotic organisation. HR and senior managers refuse to face reality and take no action no matter how many people complain. I've never seen such apathy and unprofessionalism in my career.

Pros

There was an employee store that had huge deals on books (and when you weren't being shamed for shopping there) it was pleasant.

Cons

A very odd group of people, with the oddest being the managers. Very anti-family which I found ironic, since it's a children's publisher. Terrible comments about children and the way they learn. Negative comments about religions that left me shocked. Also, racist remarks, anti-gay comments when hiring happened - completely shocking and the antithesis of what this company claims they stand for. Very cold office environment. No one wants to know anyone. The VP is very manipulative. Management set employees up for failure in my experience there. Management courted great candidates with many false promises, only to let them go a few months into employment which was devastating to witness.
