Pros

I was 100% remote and enjoyed the benefits of increased productivity due to few interruptions and a reasonable amount of flexibility. My coworkers were amazing and I had a great working relationship with my manager

Cons

Pay was abysmal, very few opportunities to earn bonuses or advance. The upper management was completely out of touch with the day-to-day operations of the company and it showed.

Pros

Great place to make connections and get a fast-paced foundational education of the publishing & distribution industry.

Cons

Focus is very hard on sales, which means that backend processes are often compensating for lack of investment. This is changing but it's rapid growing pains, which means unhappy clientele. Can make it hard to feel accomplished.
