Pros

Everyone you work with is smart -- your fellow editors, your authors, your publicists, etc. Most editors have PhDs in their field areas and stay on top of developments in their discipline. You cannot work in the editorial department without learning a ton about your subject and current thought in it. The office is casual and very open. I never got a sense that there was competition and people on 'rival' lists wanted to help each other hit targets. Half of my intern group was hired into fulltime positions

Cons

Like all publishing jobs, the pay is dismal and you have to work long hours to make those deadlines. There's also some disillusionment with academia that sets in once you reject 200 proposals in one day knowing that all those professors need to be published to get tenure.

A Good Place to Work

Pros

Overall it's a company that offers a supportive environment, offers flexibility for work/home life, fair benefits packages, and opportunities to develop and grow within the company. It's also an extremely stable company that's been around over 200 years.

Cons

It's a large company, and therefore has some of the bureaucratic headaches that go along with a large organization... sometimes changes that would benefit the company and should not be difficult to implement take forever to move forward (or don't get going at all).
