      I worked as an editorial intern in several departments

      Pros

      Amazing set of coworkers, very willing answer questions. Just by being around the office, you gain a lot of industry insight. if you take a proactive stance about what you want to do & which editors/departments you want to work with, there's a huge opportunity to customize your experience

      Cons

      For an editorial intern, the level of trust that you establish with an editor can make or ruin the experience... whether you get to edit manuscripts/work on exciting projects or just do database work/write readers reports

      Pros

      Generous time-off policy. People in senior management treat others with respect. Good health benefits and other company perks. It's a very friendly environment and no one will bother you as longs as you perform your job responsibilities up to expectations. Company offers on-going training to employees on different job related subjects.

      Cons

      Unfortunatelly, not too much room for advancement. Salaries in this company and other publishing firms are lower compared to other industries.

      Pros

      Entry level salary pretty standard, great benefits with the company and tons of perks for working there. Lots of vacation time right off the bat.

      Cons

      Hard to move up, large company, many moves feel lateral and capped at a certain point because of the enormity of the company.
