Pros

This company is great if you don't like to work very hard but want to collect a descent salary and get ok benefits. The vacation time is also very generous. The buildings are fine, but woefully outdated as far as resources and design.

Cons

The leadership is a joke. We all understand that scholarly publishing is the Titanic that hit the iceberg more than 15 years ago, but how many times can we be lied to by our leaders that things are fine. Don't worry, we'll be ok, as they continue to kick the can down the road doing the same things over and over with diminishing returns. The base level staff are treated as mice in a cage by them, completely oblivious to the overall state of the organization. I see it on the faces of everyone I pass, we are zombies here. There is a haze that has come over us because deep down, and some of us not so deep, we know how irrelevant most of our jobs, let alone the publishing aspect of our organization are. Days turn into months, months turn into years, next thing you know, a decade has passed and nothing has changed. We're all trying to grasp at the last floating board in the freezing water.
