Pros

I liked working in editorial; it gave me a lot of freedom to run projects in ways that my boss and I thought best, and I was able to wear a lot of different hats on any given day or week. This made the job enjoyable. One of the best parts of the job was taking a project through to completion and knowing that it would be used by students and librarians for learning. That was immensely rewarding to me.

Cons

Lots of change in the reference publishing industry over the last few years. Lots of initiatives to find the "next big" electronic solution, and to increase the digital offerings as opposed to print offerings. Many changes in leadership and vision over last seven or eight years.

Pros

Supportive coworkers, decent work-life balance, fully remote,

Cons

Very disorganized and unstable. There are constant changes to the business including rounds of layoffs every few months. Everyone works in constant fear of losing their jobs which is incredibly damaging to morale and productivity. Not a lot of opportunities for growth and promotion. Incredibly low pay. Budgets constantly slashed and projects canceled left and right. Poor communication from executive management and directors.
