Pros
Two weeks for christmas vacation Pay was decent Some nice people but most of them have left. see below * Nancy has good Christmas Parties. If you get invited to that then you are cool. Kind of cool to say you work for a children's book publisher and see the products in book stores
Cons
The management is so disconnected from the employees. Al is a very nice guy and good CEO. I wouldn't say he's the problem. The rest of the upper management is so wrapped up in themselves. They don't care about you or what you say. They'll run you into the ground. Very fake so dont ever feel safe with your job. They'll promise you things and never follow through. The marketing department dropped from 16 people to 5 within a year. Mostly due to people leaving. They also did a huge firing sweep late 2015 and let go a lot of good people. Don't expect to move up within the company because that never happens. Wasn't absolutely miserable here but the shady things management does like hiding things from employees leaves you not wanting to stay for long term. very repetitive work. people get moved to positions they dont want to in order to cover for people who left. Its been the same management for years. The best thing this company can be used for is a stepping stone. Put in a few years and move on. Thats what everyone else does.
