Benefits OK, but the pay is abysmal

Managing editor

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Co-workers are great people to work with 401(k) match is acceptable Benefits are OK

Cons

- Pay is horrible. Many co-workers in editorial positions (Managing Editors and Editorial Assistants) who have been working in the company for years have yet to break $50k, even after taking on extra projects and job roles. Turnover rate in the company is high as well, also due to low pay. - Almost no opportunity for promotions, but they have no problem with burdening you with work.

Underpaid PhDs but amazing flexibility

Editor

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Super flexible schedule. They recently started requiring 2 days/week in the office for those within 50 miles of an office, but even so it's very flexible. You can come in and leave whenever it works for you, whatever days and times. Good healthcare, at least for US employees. The management at least tries to be transparent about company happenings.

Cons

In other industries, entry level STEM PhDs are making $20-30k more. Editorial work is very independent. If you don't like being alone, it's not for you. Pretty disorganized, giant bureaucracy.
