Pros

If you love books, they are all over. You will meet some nice people who love books to, and to talk about them, and get free books all the time.

Cons

So disappointed in my experience at Harper. They are stuck 25 years in the past. The environment is stuffy, cliquey, etc. Upper management thinks they're better than everyone else, and what they say and how they've been doing it for the last half century is apparently the only way. Don't expect any recognition, even a $10 starbucks giftcard at Christmas.

Pros

There's a great work/life balance.

Cons

It's incredibly difficult to grow or get promoted. There's a tremendous lack of diversity in upper management.
