Good people; bad pay.

Pros

Good facilities and people. They encourage cross company communication.

Cons

It can be slow to progress with all the red tape surrounding promotion and pay increases. I had a decent salary for the company but it’s not comparable to doing the same role in a different industry. Publishing needs to address its salary failings.
