Vantaggi

Work/life balance; working hours are 35 hours per week for Corporate office; the work the company does - publishing children's' books - is commendable. But that good feeling does not extend to promoting collaboration and healthy productivity in the workforce.

Svantaggi

The company leadership is in chaos; leadership at c-level are constantly engaged in battles of ego and infighting; the CEO is advanced in age, and it seems that all the C-levels and other leaders are in a war to see who will survive. They engage in corporate behaviors that are quite demotivating and put stress on the organization, culture, and employees. Anger, frequent outbursts, firing entire teams is commonplace. People just stop showing up to work. The exit door is always swinging. Decisions do not seem to be made with financial health in mind. They seem to be made based on ego, power, and being able to leverage favor.

Vantaggi

Remote work and the clients are very nice to work with.

Svantaggi

In my experience, the company's compensation practices lacked transparency and accountability. When employees asked questions about how their earnings, bonuses, or compensation were calculated, clear answers were often difficult to obtain. Decisions affecting employee pay were made without adequate explanation, and requests for clarification frequently went unresolved. What I found particularly concerning was the apparent disconnect between employee compensation outcomes and management compensation. Employees regularly experienced reduced bonuses or earnings, while management and executive leadership appeared largely unaffected by the same business decisions. This created the perception that the financial impact of those decisions was being borne primarily by employees rather than those making them. After repeatedly seeking explanations and receiving few meaningful answers, I lost confidence in the fairness and transparency of the compensation process.
