Pros

Workman Publishing is a family, so working day-to-day at Workman means you're in a comfortable and happy environment. There are some great perks working for the company, a discounted gym membership, a volunteer program, and lots of retirement, milestone, and holiday parties.

Cons

Like most publishing companies, the pay is low, but for Workman, it's terribly low. I know of instances where someone was hired at one wage and three years later, when they hired someone to replace them, both people were making the same amount of money. There's also little room for growth. I'd say Workman is your stepping stone to bigger and better companies.
