Pros

Flexibility. Opportunities to make changes and improve. Good product is easy and fun to promote.

Cons

Very poor internal communication. Very little cooperation between departments. No one knows what the other person is doing. Lack of support can be frustrating. Very little relevant, cohesive training for new employees. High job turnover rate (but comparable to other publishing companies).

Pros

A lot of nice people and great books to work with.

Cons

Very antiquated systems. Sales teams and a lot of teams are in bubbles. There are a good amount of managers and higher ups that have been there for a while (10-30 years) and they don't like change, make their teams life hell, and keep them more siloed.
