Pros
1. The staff are lovely, everyone is very friendly and approachable. 2. You will learn a lot here, because it's a relatively easy way for new graduates to get into the publishing industry.
Cons
The environment is so top-down it's incredible. You will really be treated as someone who can't offer anything to the company, you will be patronised and have your every move monitored. Your role will be dictated by senior management who are technologically very backward and prefer to prioritse keeping costs low than creating good textbooks. SALARY REVIEW: Salaries are decided at the whim of management with no proper review process or transparency. Bonuses and concessions are given to certain staff with no recourse for discussion. Cost of living salary increase requests by staff yielded no results, which indicates a lack of will to address the constant staff turnover and staffing shortages which afflict this company. As well as this, your job parameters will change, and you will be drafted into departments that were not specified in your role. You will essentially be asked to compensate for incredibly poor leadership throughout your tenure.
