Pros

Benefits are really good. Lots of vacation, personal time, sick time. Decent salary for the publishing industry.

Cons

The company is in the middle of a merger, so there's a lot of mixed direction from upper management. Expect to work long hours. Lack of training for new employees.

Pros

Great writing, Top tier production

Cons

The male director never asked me once how I was doing or offer any advice to calm my nerves (on my first production ever with them) which lead to a burdensome recording process.
