Pros

I can literally think of no pro behind working for this company. The location's central and the lobby has good air conditioning. Aside from that, there is nothing good to speak of about this organization or its people.

Cons

This company is the reason my hairline receded in my early twenties. The office is filled with, as another colleague put it, "the has-beens and never-was" of publishing in New York City. The CFO is a raving, screaming lunatic with an anger issue, and the CEO is out to lunch. No one is at the helm, and the publisher will commit just about anything to print. There's no room for growth, if your heart can even take the stress of working with such angry, hot-headed people.

Pros

-close to public transit -air conditioned -nothing else. Seriously, women, DO NOT WORK HERE.

Cons

Springer Publishing Company promotes and retains mediocre men in high ranking roles despite their lack of talent, skills, knowledge, and especially their lack of respect for women. This office is overflowing with sexism and misogyny. There have been SEVERAL incidents of sexual harassment that were filed and "investigated" but those who filed the complaints are no longer working there, while the men continue to work there and harass others. There have also been multiple repeated inappropriate comments about the way some of the women have dressed, and how past employees used to dress. The gossiping within the office of both current and past employees is also super toxic. Beyond these complaints, the vast majority of people working here are incredibly unskilled and not talented. Pretty sure they're aware of it, though, as there have been overheard water cooler conversations about folks moving away or taking other jobs but never taking action- because they know they aren't good enough to cut it anywhere else. Combine all of this with the absolutely dismal pay- though, really, it's publishing, so what were you expecting in that area- and you can ensure you will be miserable here. If you join the marketing team, consider yourself lucky if you're strong enough to stay on past a year.
