Pros

My colleagues and management can't be beat --we have the unique bond of sharing the same passion for books. That's why you work in publishing!

Cons

It's such a great company, that no one wants to leave! Moving up is a slow process. Work life balance can be tough.

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.

Pros

Great People, wonderful industry, books!

Cons

It has become less about the product and the people and more about the profit. No room for advancement. More work, less people, less empathy.
