Pros

The people were what drove this company. Talent was oozing all over the place with a culture of innovation and a true dedication to the customer. Notice the past tense.

Cons

I get the struggle of a publishing company transitioning to digital, but as a former CEO once said, "it is easier to change while you are on top". Well, that time has come and gone. Now it is going to get tough. Nobody wants to be part of a sinking ship.

Pros

Decent pay. Not much else.

Cons

No lunch break, no breaks in general, can’t go to the bathroom for hours on end, the managers’ daughter gets special treatment because her mother is in charge. Constant criticism and unfair treatment.
