Pros

Publishing executive position at a major publishing house

Cons

I worked at Harper & Row Publishing who then merged with Collins Publishers creating the new company HarperCollins. I remember when the merger went down I was working at the ole Harper building at 10E 53rd. St. Rupert Murdock who purchased Harper created a company that was a reputable respectful giant in the industry. The division I was working was the College division where we produced and sold college textbooks. Then one day HarperCollins was up for sale (just the college division) and was sold off to Pearson Publishers who then moved everyone to NJ. Today, the ole Harper building is no longer as Harper has moved its corporate offices to lower manhattan however the legacy of Harper remains always.
