Pros

-Excellent co-workers; we treat each other like family. -Overtime available sometimes; depends on work load. -Paid time off is decent after the first few years; 9 paid holidays, plus your birthday off. -Company encourages hiring from within.

Cons

-New management has caused quite a change in work environment. Unfortunately, most of the changes have been negative: close to 25 people have been laid off and ALL employees company-wide recently experienced a pay cut that will continue from now on. Generally unstable climate in terms of job security. -The company does NOT promote a healthy work/life balance. Historically, mandatory overtime has hit up to 14 hours in proofreading. Other times, no OT is required, and the low pay makes it hard to pay basic living expenses. -Not much/any room for upward growth within positions; basically only lateral movement available.
