Good coworkers, very bureaucratic, no room for advancement

Business Outlook

Pros

The team I work for is absolutely great. The benefits are very competitive, and the salaries reasonably so.

Cons

There are no clear guidelines for advancement, and after several years of flawless performance reviews I have received no opportunities to advance. Everything is very bureaucratic -- you get the impression the company is run by automatons.

One of the better companies to work for in book publishing; its flaws are typical of the book biz

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Company is relatively secure financially at a time when many publishers are struggling; has some concern for the well-being of its employees; good benefits esp. by publishing standards; pay is above average for the industry

Cons

There's really no place to go in terms of advancement. Entry-level positions may move up a notch or two (they have in my group), but once you move up a little to more mid-range position you're pretty much stuck for life. What you're doing at 30 or 35 is pretty much what you'll be doing when you're 60. Management is civil but cool and distant--there's a very strict pecking order. I don't expect them to be my new best friends but they're so remote it's a bit creepy, almost robotic. Pay isn't great, esp. by metro NY standards, but book publishing is a low-paying industry that's gotten away with it for decades. So I give them credit, but the bar's been set rather low by the industry.
