Pros

Flexible work schedule, nice client base, friendly coworkers

Cons

Managers don't care about stress levels or workloads; they will either tell you that you are not meeting their lofty expectations (many of which are far outside of our pay grades), or reluctantly reshuffle assignments and make you feel guilty for asking for help. If you're one of the unlucky staff members who has been deemed "a problem", you will be placed on a performance improvement plan and further overworked in an attempt to force you out. I've seen this happen to multiple people already in my relatively short tenure here. In addition, they've recently forced a large number of salaried employees into hourly wages in an attempt to save money and enforce even more strict time management. If you don't complete your work in the hours available and you ask for overtime, requests will be denied because according to their "spreadsheets", you aren't completing your work within the allotted time frames. It's just another way to justify paying you less and swiftly pushing you out if you can't keep up.

Pros

Nice people, interesting book topics.

Cons

Part of their sales pitch was their company culture and treating employees like family, but this was quickly obviously not true. Organization and communication were a mess, nearly a third of company either left or was laid off during my stay, including both of my supervisors and they didn't have a creative director until my last day on the job. I didn't receive training on their process, people were eager to report my mistakes to management, and ultimately I was let go for trying to fix a mistake I made earlier in a book due to "not following the proper workflow" which they, again, did not instruct me on. They also asked me to take on video editing tasks immediately which was something they had asked about in the interview, which also interrupted my ability to learn how to do my job. Additionally there are no upward or career advancement options, it's a family company and you're not part of the family.
