Pros

Work/life balance; working hours are 35 hours per week for Corporate office; the work the company does - publishing children's' books - is commendable. But that good feeling does not extend to promoting collaboration and healthy productivity in the workforce.

Cons

The company leadership is in chaos; leadership at c-level are constantly engaged in battles of ego and infighting; the CEO is advanced in age, and it seems that all the C-levels and other leaders are in a war to see who will survive. They engage in corporate behaviors that are quite demotivating and put stress on the organization, culture, and employees. Anger, frequent outbursts, firing entire teams is commonplace. People just stop showing up to work. The exit door is always swinging. Decisions do not seem to be made with financial health in mind. They seem to be made based on ego, power, and being able to leverage favor.

Pros

I love the people I work with. Not the bosses.

Cons

The managment has no idea what they’re doing all they do is demean their employees and treat them like trash and fired when they hear something they don’t like.
