High sales and marketing turnover and little to no training means you'll hit the ground running with lots of room for failure and a huge learning curve. Impossible to transfer to a different department so don't take that Receptionist job thinking you'll get you get your foot in the door in the Editorial department. Middle Management generally needs to take some serious classes on how to manage people without massive freakouts and inappropriate messaging. Compensation package is a joke (don't buy into that profit sharing propaganda they try to feed you as you still won't be paid enough to afford rent in the Bay Area), and don't expect any decent cost of living increases. Any legitimate, documented concerns brought to HR result in gaslighting, witchhunts, and coverups - you know it's bad when it's better to leave than to bring a concern to the HR department. There's a diversity initiative going on, but it's not reflected in the book lists, and the Diversity and Inclusion Meetings are a joke - when it's majority Caucasian cis people in the room there should be an active discussion re: why there aren't more persons of color/diversity in the room?

- Terrible Exec board - Your manager may be hard to work with, really just depends - Understaffed, they know it but refuse to do anything about it. So everyone is overworked and miserable - Slim chance of upward mobility (they will say there is a good chance, but if it's there it's because people are leaving/being laid off in droves) - Racist - Ableist - Pettiest place I've ever worked - Pay is absymal especially for the area - Cliquey/popularity contest when trying to be promoted/moved jobs
