Pros

Great Benefits package Relaxed/ laid back work atmosphere--no one breathing over your shoulder to get things done. My managers had confidence in my ability to perform the job I was hired to do so every task was not micro-managed.

Cons

Horrible salary During the layoffs I was removed from my original department and placed in another which was a demotion of sorts since it took me off of the career path I intended on. I soon found another opportunity at another publishing house which was a promotion from my original position.
