Pros

Worked in textbook division. Good benefits and helpful colleagues.

Cons

Salary as assistant editor just couldn't keep up with NYC living costs, but that's true of many other publishing houses. Actually took an editing job in Philly, which is a more manageable city

Pros

2 weeks off at the end of the year. If you are good there are opportunities to grow. On finance team there are a lot of smart folks.

Cons

Too many unprofessional college grads. I lost the count how many times some "creative" guy hit a Send to All button instead of sending to the desired individual.
