Business Outlook

Pros

You do get the summer off if you are a 10 month employee. This season is was 9.5 weeks. But not enough over the 2 months to file for unemplyment. Closed at Christmas but can no longer carry over.

Cons

No notice about having to cram all unused vacation days into 2 months time since they decided (overnight) to change poicy and then put a freeze on the last two months of the year. Everyone in my department (and many others, due to management) walk on eggshells everyday. There is NO, absoultely no fun to be had. Forget about having relationships with your fellow employees, there is no one I know that works harder anywhere. There is no time extra... they make sure of that!

Not a bad place to work

Sales consultant

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits package is good considering we are not full year employees. Total compensation is steady and pay follows through the summer months.

Cons

Limited chance for advance. Work homelife balance is nonexistent for managers, including calls during time off. Management is rarely accesible, due to constant conference calls and reports.

Business Outlook

Pros

The material you work with is always interesting and varies quite a bit. Coworkers and management are for the most part decent and fair people to work with.

Cons

The Soho location is an old building with very cramped working quarters for proofreaders. It is sometimes difficult to focus due to background noise.
