Pros
- Exposure to lots of different projects, authors, and books - Enjoyed working with my peers - At the end of the day, although I strongly disagree with their business decision and processes, the CEO is a good, genuine hearted person - Good experience to include on your CV
Cons
- Complete lack of transparency from management (internally and externally) - Micromanaged - had to account for entire working session; discovered that all emails get forwarded to and read by management - Cheap, slave labor - hire as many international interns as possible so they don't have to pay; full-time staff is paid very poorly - Worked on a lot of projects that went nowhere - Forced to lie to authors, companies, etc. to appear bigger and better staffed than we were; I think this was a real miss as people love to support the underdog not massive corporations - Not sure if authors were misled, but ran into several situations where authors had certain expectations that were not in line with what we were to provide (such as limited marketing, ability to get their work reviews in publications, etc.) - Over-worked their staff - High turnover (See points above)
