Pros

* Hardworking employees * Decent benefits, including onsite fitness center, paid time off, subsidized cafeteria * Interesting subject matter--sports, fitness, and health * Pleasant physical working conditions. Clean, health-focused environment.

Cons

* Company hasn't successfully adapted to a changing publishing environment. * Online and web presence is embarrassing. Website and courses are unappealing and very difficult to use. * Management is not very creative, and only recently made a commitment to new forms of electronic media. * No employer contributions to 401(K). ESOP shares provided to employees have drastically fallen in value. * Two rounds of layoffs in the past decade. * Top-down management. Suggestions from rank-and-file employees are typically dismissed.
