Pros
Books. Experience. The knowledge that if you make it through there, you can take on anything. Because the culture here is close to as bad as it gets.
Cons
The absolute worst culture based on CEO's ego and grinding employees into nubs. You are not valued. You are to be used. And you are to be discarded -- if you don't get the chance to get out first. Luckily, I got out. When you leave, you are dead to them. It doesn't matter what knowledge or talent you have -- if you leave the cult, you are not worthy of another thought or kind word. Now that I have the perspective of working somewhere that values people as people and has their personal growth in mind -- Sourcebooks looks even worse in hindsight. And it was B-A-D when I was there. 75% turnover in one year alone.
