Pros

Small company with a family atmosphere - I loved the monthly parties and that we celebrated everyone's birthdays Opportunity to work with the best people in publishing - FSB has a great reputation in the industry and I was proud to say I worked there Balance of work/life - my boss was always understanding about family obligations Generosity - While I worked at FSB, I got serval raises and bonuses. If the company was doing well, we were all a part of its success.

Cons

Don't work here if you plan to slack off. In a small company it is apparent who is working and producing good results, and who is not.

Pros

- Employees are not micromanaged, so if you like to challenge yourself and use your brain this is a great place to work. - Degree of freedom given to develop professional skills - Always interesting clients, books, and authors to work with - Never boring - Management is open to new ideas - Decent starting salary - Friendly atmosphere - Great co-workers - Flexible with time and schedules - Great experience with using Social Media in a business setting - Able to build wonderful relationships with media contacts - Bonuses - Health Benefits and 401K plan - I always have something to talk about in my home/social life because I learn so much from clients, authors, and their books. - Management will often do office lunches which makes you feel like you are a valuable part of the team

Cons

- Employees are not micromanaged, so if you need someone to tell you what to do, or if you don't like taking initiative this might not be a great fit. - Workload varies with slow periods and busy periods - Since this is a small company, there is little room for substantial growth - Salary for experience level and responsibilities is under industry standards

Pros

Great work/life flexibility Opportunity to work remotely Casual work environment Health benefits, 401k and bonuses Friendly staff Ability to work with high-profile authors, web editors and industry professionals FSB Associates is a great career launching firm located in NJ. There are many benefits to working here for me, including managing my own projects, communicating with A-list authors as well as prominent web editors and bloggers. Balancing work and home life is also very important to me and this company allows for the flexibility to do just that. On a daily basis, I get to collaborate with the owners, who have experience working in the publishing industry prior to opening this business. They are friendly and receptive to new ideas. I would recommend this company to anyone with an interest in book publishing and online marketing.

Cons

The company is small so there is limited career and salary advancement Workload varies season to season so being flexible, adaptive and self-sufficient is a must.
