Pros

Meaningful work Work life balance Fantastic co-workers Great authors Positive company culture There is flexibility to lean into your strengths and expand your role to your capacity and your interests Generous policies for employees, like 3 months of maternity leave The people at the highest level care about all employees' feedback, from accountants and managers down to the receptionist.

Cons

It's publishing, so you won't make much money. Also, the workload can get a little high at times.

Pros

- Working in publishing is fun, and Baker publishes great content - Lots of great colleagues with a fun sense of humor who enjoy breaktime walks and debating the Oxford comma - Ability to develop new skills and wear many hats because Baker functions like a small company - Flexible and hybrid work arrangements - They were starting to adopt DEI practices and awareness, in response to employees asking for it

Cons

- Lots of inconsistency in management methods/styles across different managers - if you get a good manager you'll probably be fine here, but there are plenty of pretty subpar managers at Baker. Seems to be little to no professional management training, and certainly no management consistency across departments or across Baker locations. - Pay is low. - Pay is inconsistent. Pay across similar positions seems to be based on how little the person was willing to accept when hired or how much the person negotiated when they got hired. It was all over the place, even for re-filling the same position. - Health insurance plan is so abysmal. Coverage was nonexistant until you hit the sky high deductable, and the premiums go up more than yearly cost of living raises, so eventually I couldn't afford to work there. - It's a smaller company so there is little room to advance and move up.

Pros

Great PTO, decent flexibility, and some really kind people

Cons

Your experience is really determined by whether you get a good manager, and the salary leaves something to be desired.
