Pros

salaries and bonuses are generous. Great company events such as the Christmas party and the summer picnic. Lots of fun, interesting people. Good training classes and opportunities for learning and growing.

Cons

Some of the people who have been promoted into management are not always inspiring. They tend to promote micro-managers and then upper management stands behind them no matter what. It eventually drives good employees away. They also have a strange habit of firing talented people for what seems like no reason and announcing that so and so is gone as of today and this is who we are replacing them with (often a friend or favorite of the manager). This has lead to poor morale and a feeling of paranoia among the remaining staff. The Marketing department is also very cliquey. At a marketing/editorial dinner this year, where the two staffs are supposed to get to know each other, a high level Marketing person was observed saving seats so that all the marketing managers would be seated together, thus limiting interaction with the editors. Very strange.

Publishing is a struggling industry, and there's increasing pressure on hitting numbers.
