Fine place if you can shoulder the load - Editorial Assistant Red Line Editorial Employee Review

- Effective, empathetic management - Great team - Highly variable and interesting workload

- Pay is quite low

Nice people, interesting book topics.

Part of their sales pitch was their company culture and treating employees like family, but this was quickly obviously not true. Organization and communication were a mess, nearly a third of company either left or was laid off during my stay, including both of my supervisors and they didn't have a creative director until my last day on the job. I didn't receive training on their process, people were eager to report my mistakes to management, and ultimately I was let go for trying to fix a mistake I made earlier in a book due to "not following the proper workflow" which they, again, did not instruct me on. They also asked me to take on video editing tasks immediately which was something they had asked about in the interview, which also interrupted my ability to learn how to do my job. Additionally there are no upward or career advancement options, it's a family company and you're not part of the family.
