Pros

Camaraderie of colleagues. We often suffered in silence, but the palpable sense of compassion amongst the staff was comforting on "hard" days.

Cons

If you're looking for a healthy work environment to grow as a professional and hone your publishing skills, this place is very likely "not a fit" for you. The workload isn't the issue, it's the constant redirection that no amount of flexibility can accommodate. The "hard" part is involuntary subjection to the many moods of the CEO.
