Pros

The publishing industry is a great field to be in and if you worked in any other HC office besides Glasgow it would probably be great.

Cons

The biggest ones for me are the fact that this company breaks employment law, they have so many temps in here that have been temps for four years plus and the company refuses to give them contracts, THIS IS AGAINST THE LAW. low wage,treated very very poorly if you're male in this female dominated workplace i.e. you'll never get promoted and you're disregarded as a human being due to your gender.

Pros

Fully remote with all necessary tech provided, weekday schedule, great benefits, good leadership, small close-knit teams, generous PTO in addition to paid holidays

Cons

Base salary could be better but is offset with benefits package. Employee retention is high (a huge plus IMO) butcould limit upward mobility if you're looking for it.
