Former Employee – worked at Princeton University Press
Pros – PUP cares greatly about its employees - gives annual raises and bonuses even in times of economic difficulty, throws holiday parties and makes you feel like a part of a family. Upper level employees take the time to mentor entry level employees. Produces top-notch scholarship that you can be proud to have worked on.
Cons – Because the Press is so small, you will likely reach a glass ceiling as people in higher level positions tend to stay put.
Advice to Senior Management – Keep putting employee happiness at the top of the priority list and they'll continue to serve the company well.

Current Employee – been working at Princeton University Press
Pros – There are excellent benefits here, the staff is experienced and very friendly, and the work atmosphere is very comfortable. The Press has an outstanding reputation, and working here is really a pleasure.
Cons – There isn't really much wrong with the Press itself, but the area surrounding the Press' location can be a bit dull. Princeton proper has its fair share of restaurants and shopping, but for a college town the community is introverted and the cost of living is on the high side.
Advice to Senior Management – I think the leadership here is great. Everyone in an administrative position is knowledgeable and willing to help.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
