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.
