Pros

Work from home is a benefit

Cons

Not the same company as when Mr. Robinson was at the helm. No investment in employees, pay is subpar, gaslighted by management and increasing workload annually with pay raises that don’t pace inflation and unattainable goals for bonuses. Meanwhile, the president of book fairs pulling in $1M/year and management getting promotions and I’m sure substantial pay increases. No one is sacrificing for the mission except the lowest paid employees.

Pros

Remote work and the clients are very nice to work with.

Cons

In my experience, the company's compensation practices lacked transparency and accountability. When employees asked questions about how their earnings, bonuses, or compensation were calculated, clear answers were often difficult to obtain. Decisions affecting employee pay were made without adequate explanation, and requests for clarification frequently went unresolved. What I found particularly concerning was the apparent disconnect between employee compensation outcomes and management compensation. Employees regularly experienced reduced bonuses or earnings, while management and executive leadership appeared largely unaffected by the same business decisions. This created the perception that the financial impact of those decisions was being borne primarily by employees rather than those making them. After repeatedly seeking explanations and receiving few meaningful answers, I lost confidence in the fairness and transparency of the compensation process.
