Pros

Casual yet professional atmosphere. Authors focused more on the business side of publishing as well as those focused on social issues or making a dream come true, are equally welcomed and comfortable in the environment. All departments communicate regularly to provide the most comprehensive and individualized service possible. The communication is casual and cordial. It truly is a team atmosphere where we all work together for a common goal: the satisfaction of our authors. Each and every employee, regardless of position or department, keeps the authors' satisfaction as their top priority. The flexibility provided management for time off, hours, and an accepting atmosphere, is unmatched in my experience. The door to management's offices are always open and willing to listen to questions or concerns.

Cons

My commute is over an hour.

Pros

Mascot books is a pleasure to work with. I have coordinated with a hand full of production editors who where always a pleasure to coordinate with, and were very clear and concise when communicating between me (the illustrator) and the author.

Cons

Some downsides are that the illustration position is a very low payed job. However, editors and authors can be willing to coordinate upon prices of the artist requests. In addition, the company does test sketches and compositions for authors without artist compensation, whether the author chooses to continue work with the illustrator or not.
