On the forefront of Digital Publishing

Senior editor

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Given the authority to run your own publishing program, interesting work, opportunity for travel.

Cons

Compensation over the last few years in terms of merit increases has been low 1-2% max for most. Signing goals and publishing goals routinely raised each year by 20% with no additional staff. Little room for advancement once you make senior editor.

better than being unemployed

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

There are a few upsides to working for Springer. There is a 35 hour work week although because of the workload is almost impossible to take advantage of but it's nice to know it's there. It's one of the very few publishers I've worked for that offers summer hours.

Cons

Springer has what amounts to a form of corporate welfare. There are people in almost all departments here that would have been fired or laid off in any other company for incompentancy. There are managers who have no basic understanding how their own department works and who consistently miss goals year after year yet are employed by Springer. It is both infuriating and disheartening for anyone who works hard at their job and is knowledgable within their field to have to answer to someone who works at the level of a high school intern.

Great place to work, very difficult to move up

Editorial assistant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Fantastic benefits; fun, casual work atmosphere; entry level salary is higher than at comparable firms. Flexible work hours, and strong sense of unity among editorial units.

Cons

Raises are hard to come by, and promotions are even more difficult. Instead of being promoted for doing good work, you have to hope the department head asks for a "new position" and then you can apply for it - against the other eight EAs in your division. Different departments (editorial, production, accounting) butt heads frequently.
