Pros
Free books. Every 3rd Thursday free beer + pizza. Author M&G events. Most co-workers are pleasant to work with, no drama. Good work/life balance depending on your supervisor. Overall, a good environment, you are respected, especially compared to other large publishers. You get almost all of the last 2 weeks of December off. HR does a great job of pushing diversity initiatives.
Kontras
Upper management in my group doesn't care about their employees. My co-workers are great people but supervisors very openly and obviously do not care about getting to know their workers. I can see that morale declines every month I'm here. There were a bunch of layoffs and it was done hastily and in a tacky fashion. And after that, we were never told what the company would be doing with the money saved from these layoffs. The layoffs made more work for everybody else and no raises or help with the transition were made. Raises are rare. Bonuses are only half of your paycheck once a year and they come in late (a long time after the holidays). Upper management is stuck in an antiquated baby boomer way of thinking. There is no room for growth. And no incentives to stay anyways.
