Pros

Family-friendly work environment, flexible work schedules.

Cons

Company doesn't care about making a profit. Hires incompetent management. Claims to be Christian, but supports anti-Christian issues and promotes socialism. Pay and benefits are low. Treats loyal employees badly.

Pros

Depending on your department, your schedule can be flexible. Good for gaining entry-level experience in publishing. Generally stable.

Cons

There is very limited room for growth (the downside of stability). Toxic/unprofessional behavior is often tolerated to maintain the status quo. The severe weather policy is arbitrary and frankly dangerous.

Thank you for your comments. I would like to respond as we truly value the thoughts and opinions of past and present employees. In terms of advancement, employees are provided with the opportunity and ability to discuss various possibilities within our company. Our open door policy exhibits such behaviors. In terms of the environment, our aim is always to protect and listen to any employee that experiences treatment that is less than professional. We always encourage employees to inform us of any issues that arise. In terms of the severe weather policy, we continue to update this policy to ensure that employees are safe in times of inclement weather.

Pros

Baker provides a range of benefits including health, dental, vision, as well as programs like health club/gym reimbursement and flex accounts for health and childcare expenses. They make an effort to research and provide competitive salaries. Continuing education is encouraged. Feels like a family. Every now and then there are free bagels. The PTO Donation program is a way for coworkers to support one another. Positive environment.

Cons

There is no paid maternity or paternity leave. PTO days must be used in this instance. Most new parents are also new in their careers and have not acquired much PTO--its a challenge for most people. I agree with the other reviewer, there are a few people who are very difficult to work with. The downfall is it inhibits the team and their ability to work at full capacity. Collaboration and contribution is discouraged in that type of environment.

We're grateful for this person's feedback about our benefits, policies, and work climate, all of which we seek to keep improving. In response to the reviewer's comment about paid leave, we'd like to clarify that we provide our full-time employees a short-term disability benefit at no cost. Under this benefit, 60% of a person's pre-disability income is provided after claim approvals, and maternity is covered under this benefit. This enables a person on maternity leave to conserve her PTO. We want to provide helpful benefits and a supportive working environment for all of our employees, including new parents.
