Pros

Most people are talented, hardworking and passionate about what they do.

Cons

Not a lot of creative energy or an ability to embrace new ideas. There's a lot of focus on established brands and licensing as opposed to focussing on new original content from exciting author/ illustrators.

Pros

The people are amazing. The work itself is always interesting.

Cons

Don't work in Publishing for the money. You will never get paid as much as you could in other industries with the same exact skill-set.
