From my point of view, senior management seems very formal and overly distant--coming from an organzation with an 'open door' policy about asking questions/learning from our management, it seems strange to be cut out of the line of communication and discouraged from asking questions and sharing information across the company. As with many academic publishers, I am assuming, compensation could be better, we are understaffed constantly and expected to work unreasonable hours, considering our salaries. I routinely work 12 hour days, despite low compensation.

There is really a lack of career development. There are basically 3 tracks: Editorial, Marketing and Production. If you do not start out in sales there is very little chance that you can advance in Editorial or Marketing. Unfortunately, you can not get any entry sales rep position unless you are < 3 years out of college. What that means is if you don't make publishing your career choice out of college forget about it for a career with growth.
