As is the case in publishing everywhere, the pay is low and there are limited opportunities to move up.

Pros

Great writing, Top tier production

Cons

The male director never asked me once how I was doing or offer any advice to calm my nerves (on my first production ever with them) which lead to a burdensome recording process.

Pros

Great People, wonderful industry, books!

Cons

It has become less about the product and the people and more about the profit. No room for advancement. More work, less people, less empathy.
