Business Outlook
Pros
The work itself is interesting and rewarding. I loved my authors, many of my tasks, and my coworkers (at my level, and some higher ups). Benefits are decent, and you get lots of free books.
Cons
This company, like many in publishing, treats its young employees terribly. Pay is very low, the workload is very high, there's little room for growth (unless you're a man) and they bank on your passion for the job to go along with subpar conditions. Relatedly, there is minimal diversity, and while lots of lip service is payed to the issue, there is little political will to change the culture.
