Not the same company

Business Outlook

Pros

Work from home is a benefit

Cons

Not the same company as when Mr. Robinson was at the helm. No investment in employees, pay is subpar, gaslighted by management and increasing workload annually with pay raises that don’t pace inflation and unattainable goals for bonuses. Meanwhile, the president of book fairs pulling in $1M/year and management getting promotions and I’m sure substantial pay increases. No one is sacrificing for the mission except the lowest paid employees.

Business Outlook

Pros

Location is nice. Expectations are low, so it's easy to glide through with little effort if that's what you're looking for.

Cons

Very toxic environment with inadequate management. Many of whom are in their position for reasons other than their qualifications and thus are in over their head. The compensation is considerably below average Manhattan compensation packages.
