Pros
The editors I assist are wonderful, intelligent, and great mentors. The publisher has great vision for the future and is willing to include everyone from the interns to the editorial directors in conversations about our groups goals.
Cons
Honestly, it’s crazy that big 5 publishers get away with paying their entry level employees less than 40k a year, when non-profits pay higher. Assistants don’t get a lot of say over how their jobs changes. I’ve been pulled around from three different editors—all here great— but no one bothered to ask me for my input on who should be my boss. It was just assigned without warning. Expect lots of overtime and outside reading.
