Pros

I received a great introduction to the publishing industry, and learned essential editorial skills that I still use today even though I no longer work in book publishing.

Cons

Obviously, the salary was low. However, at that time, I was eligible for overtime and my boss was very liberal with it. Not sure if that is still the case.

Pros

Fully remote with all necessary tech provided, weekday schedule, great benefits, good leadership, small close-knit teams, generous PTO in addition to paid holidays

Cons

Base salary could be better but is offset with benefits package. Employee retention is high (a huge plus IMO) butcould limit upward mobility if you're looking for it.
