Pros

It was a very hard lesson but I finally learned to stop saying yes to everything without asking for adequate compensation.

Cons

The pay is terrible, ngl. The company (and industry) relies on people who have always dreamed of working in publishing and then exploit that by not paying them a livable wage.

Pros

A lot of nice people and great books to work with.

Cons

Very antiquated systems. Sales teams and a lot of teams are in bubbles. There are a good amount of managers and higher ups that have been there for a while (10-30 years) and they don't like change, make their teams life hell, and keep them more siloed.
