      Pros

      Lots of free books (great for readers), incredible amount of vacation days and other great perks, made more friends than I can count on two hands, great work-life balance.

      Cons

      Pay is on the lower end, but not as low as many companies in publishing. Raises don't really offer much more money. Also, colleagues have complained about not being empowered by senior management to make decisions. There can be a lot of red tape, and waiting around for approval, depending on where you work in the company.

      Pros

      Great writing, Top tier production

      Cons

      The male director never asked me once how I was doing or offer any advice to calm my nerves (on my first production ever with them) which lead to a burdensome recording process.

      Pros

      Great People, wonderful industry, books!

      Cons

      It has become less about the product and the people and more about the profit. No room for advancement. More work, less people, less empathy.
