Pros

The Journal Production staff is overall a good group of people to work with. Benefits are competitive and you get a good amount of time off for vacation and sick days. When you need help getting things done, you can feel comfortable asking for it, but overtime is also awarded if the amount work you have justifies it.

Cons

The nature of serial publishing is that things can be stressful. The volume of email correspondence, the number of deadlines, the hassle of working with typesetters that are overseas... all of these things can add to your daily frustrations. Other departments like marketing and fulfillment are also difficult to work with.

Thank you for this balanced and thoughtful review. We're glad to hear that our benefits and investment in people are making a positive impact, those are commitments we take seriously. On the process feedback: Leadership is actively reviewing operational workflows, and the advice to listen more closely to employee feedback is something we're holding ourselves accountable to. If you're open to it, we'd encourage you to bring specific examples forward through your team or people and culture contacts. Change is most effective when it's grounded in the real experiences of the people doing the work, and that means you.
