Vantaggi

- You work with some of the best people (passionate readers, compassionate, enthusiastic) - You work with books!! And with some of the amazing authors who write them - Ability to take on a lot of tasks and wear many hats -working remotely

Svantaggi

- A note on the above -- you're pretty much obligated to take on a lot of tasks and wear a lot of hats because 1. job descriptions are vague 2. they expect you to take on the work of 2-3 people since companies in the industry are typically understaffed (but you're supposed to work for the passion of the books) -- so people are typically overworked and burnt out - low pay - promotions are less based on merit and more likely on the amount of time you've been there. if company is having a bad year, you will likely not be promoted or get a pay raise – no matter how your responsibilities have changed. It's the nature of the business - you're expected to stick it out like others have -1-3% cost of living wage increase when inflation is 7%?!?!?!?

Vantaggi

Great writing, Top tier production

Svantaggi

The male director never asked me once how I was doing or offer any advice to calm my nerves (on my first production ever with them) which lead to a burdensome recording process.

Vantaggi

Great People, wonderful industry, books!

Svantaggi

It has become less about the product and the people and more about the profit. No room for advancement. More work, less people, less empathy.
