Stay away

Pros

There are some great people at the low-mid level. Be weary of higher ups and Human Resources. Some opportunities to work from home. Honestly, there aren't many pros...

Cons

Management has no idea what they're doing. Human Resources plays favorites and engages in deplorable behavior. There are many other better publishers in Boston -- go to one of them!

Overworked- underpaid

Pros

Nice new building. Love the potential impact this company could make on higher education

Cons

underpaid and under appreciated employees- Morale is terrible- company wants the Champagne employees but only has a beer budget. Revolving door syndrome- staff stays for 6 months or so for the experience and moves on to a real job making a much better wage.

A Very Comfortable Job

Recommend
Business Outlook

Pros

The employees and culture is fun, laid-back, and modern. The benefits and compensation is livable - though nothing to strive for. All in all, it's comfortable. There's no huge reason to stay for an extended period of time, but there hasn't yet been a convincing enough reason to go.

Cons

Raises are based on company performance, not individual effort... so there's very little motivation to really excel. You can do the bare minimum, and you'll still be "rewarded" as abysmally as the next person. With that, raises are insulting. They claim there's a ton of room for advancement, but the only thing that advances are the amount of responsibility you're expected to take on. There's no promotion. There's no title change. "Advancement" is doing more for the same compensation.
