Former Employee – worked at Princeton University Press

ProsPUP 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.

ConsBecause 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 ManagementKeep 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

ProsThere 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.

ConsThere 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 ManagementI 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

Current Employee – been working at Princeton University Press

ProsFree books, relaxing environment, great reputation, good benefits, very nice and sweet coworkers.

ConsIndependent work is encouraged to the point where socialization seems non-existent. Most of the time, there is complete silence in the office.

Advice to Senior ManagementCreate more opportunities for teamwork.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
