      Pros

      A great place to learn the ropes and come up through the ranks of publishing. Pay and benefits are better than at some other publishing houses. Because of the high level of organizational and people skills neccessary to work here, there is alot of personal growth potential.

      Cons

      Jobs are very categorized and one does not always have the opportunity to "wear lots of hats" Alot of focus on bestsellers sometimes does not give the less known authors and artists the marketing support they might need. Company is very large.

      Pros

      An incredible backlist in all divisions; smart, energetic, collegial employees that thrive on team work. Being part of News Corporation is also an incredible asset.

      Cons

      Truly creative visionary mangers that are not allowed to flex their strategic ideas. There are many numbers twos and threes that are asked to function within the philosophy of "this is how we do it".

      A good company overall -- and nice people

      Pros

      It's a wonderful publishing company.

      Cons

      It's undergoing quite a few changes, which can make for an unsettling ride. Also, there aren't a ton of opportunities for junior employees to be promoted--many people find they have to switch companies within the publishing industry in order to get ahead.
