Pros

There are a handful of people at the publishing house who actually care about the work.

Cons

Bullying and harassment from coworkers gave me a nervous breakdown. I was working 70+ hours a week for $30k a year and dealing with a toxic work environment on top of that. Top-heavy management with a bunch of old guys who produce nothing. Female employees are noticeably underpaid compared to male employees.
