Pros

On the low to middle management levels, contains passionate professionals dedicated to providing world-class resources for all libraries and the patrons they serve.

Cons

Sales and executive leadership is deeply, deeply flawed. Insults and undermining abounds cross-departmentally. Top performers do not last, no good deed goes unpunished, and bad behavior is frequently ignored by senior leadership. "This is where careers go to die," one colleague once proclaimed.

Pros

This company has an outstanding mission of serving libraries, schools, and literacy through magazines and events, and most of the wonderful people who work there are 100% behind this mission.

Cons

Toward the end of the time I was there, the management team seemed more concerned about keeping the investors happy than in upholding that mission. Which I can understand from a practical standpoint. Their butts were on the line. But when this kind of motivation becomes too transparent, it can hurt the overall morale of the business and even, in some cases, create a toxic culture. From what I understand, though, the worst of that management team has moved on, so it may be a much different place to work now.
