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

7-3 straight with overtime consistent pay -while the work is repetitive even for factory work they don't push you for nothing and almost everyone pitches in and gets the work done when and where it's needed. There is usually ample overtime though from time to time it's slow able to help with disabilities -I came in with an undiagnosed disability that I didn't realize would impair my ability in my chosen position until I got there, they were incredibly kind and allowed me a few more changed in positions until I was able to find one that fit.

Cons

inability to hold others accountable -occasionally people become comfortable in a role and refuse to change or if it benefits them will make the work harder/slower than it needs to be, management does little other than say an announcement and then shrug its shoulders.
