Pros

Love the mission of the company. I also enjoyed the transparency of the CEO. Good or bad, he shared it in monthly company meetings. I also loved the people that work there. Great people!

Cons

With the economy struggling, the publishing industry struggled as well which often led to a reduction in staff.

Pros

Flexibility, direct supervisor is second to none, leadership is imperfect and human but trying which is more than I can say for most employers. Benefits are exceptional, free breakfast prepared by two amazing chefs four days a week, generous holiday, vacation, and sick time. The building and the grounds are beautiful with AMAZING views of the front range. Even with the 4 days onsite and 1 day remote work week there is still flexibility within that. So many more but don't want this to be too long.

Cons

It's difficult to write out true cons because everyone, leadership included, is so well intentioned but that is where things tend to go wrong. It seems that sometimes leadership has difficulty making the hard decisions and tend to rob Peter to pay Paul. I hesitate to give examples because again, the intent is well meaning, but it seems that they may not see the flip side of the coin in those decisions and how being generous, over indulgent, inconsistent, etc. in some ways harms in others.

Pros

Good benefits, great work environment, friendly employees

Cons

Recent, unannounced layoffs have left the remaining employees questioning their future with the company. Poor communication from managers and supervisors. Key positions cut without any direction as to how to move forward.
