Pros
You enter book publishing for the love of the job, not the money. Nearly everybody is kind and a pleasure to work with. The company handles changes in the marketplace like ebooks, self-publishing, and retail landscape with a level head and smart strategies. The CEO overflows with energy, enthusiasm, and a genuine passion for the kind of cultural influence books have on society.
Cons
Pay. Again, you don't do this for the money. While the company is probably the best in the industry at adapting with the technology of the time, its relatively behind any start-up or other brand-recognizable company from another industry. It's a large organization, with a lot of entrenched beliefs that cannot be changed or take too long to convince of a better alternative.
