Pros

There aren't many publishing jobs in Ireland, so it might be a good place to gain experience.

Cons

No HR department, workforce lacks diversity, building not accessible, working from home practically non-existent, hardly any benefits offered, no review process (don't expect a raise unless you ask for one), managers don't have staff's best interests at heart -- there is no attention paid to keeping up morale, be prepared to clock in and out, lunch times are inflexible, parameters of the job change informally, deadlines are often unreasonable, goal posts change at the whim of sales and marketing, beating competitors to market is often more important than ensuring quality, and it is an extremely top-down environment. Don't make waves. Don't have ideas. Don't innovate. Don't be creative. Just do things the way it's always been done and the way you're told and you'll do well at this company.

Pros

Majority of the immediate colleagues are great, reliable and helpful. Good opportunity to start out in publishing as the company will make you experience a lot of aspects of it when hired.

Cons

No HR. Pension is a joke (considering the company’s reputation and affiliation). Top-down culture is hugely felt. Upper management is blind and deaf to staff’s overloaded work capacity and undermines junior/younger members as employees. The company is like a “family” in the most toxic way possible: upper management have their favourites and they take everything personal. If you’re not the favourite, you’ll have to scratch your way to get some crumbs off the table. No reward for hard work, just more work. No system for salary appraisal, you have to fight your way for a raise. No real career progression, just empty titles and promises. If there is, you’ll have to demand it. And if you demand too much, they’ll police your tone.
