Best for people at the beginning of their careers, or those for whom flexibility is more important than money.
Pros
Because this is a small company in which people's jobs are by necessity wide in scope, and because the salaries are on the low end, this can be a good place for people right out of college to learn about their particular area of interest in publishing, and perhaps decide whether it's really what they want to do. It offers an informal atmosphere, private offices for editorial and sales staff (and some art staff) and mostly very kind and friendly staff. There is also the opportunity for free health and beauty products on a regular basis.
Cons
Salaries are very low and raises are rare. When they come, they are miniscule. There is no consistent and secure HR support. The editorial department has no true leadership, and editors have very heavy work loads, especially given their compensation. This has led to an extraordinarily high turnover rate in that department, based on voluntary resignations. There is virtually no upward mobility for employees, and young, ambitious employees are well-advised to learn what they can and move on after 2-3 years. Recently the company has adopted corporate-style surveillance and tracking practices, effectively undercutting the appeal of an informal and trusting environment. Such practices, when not accompanied by corporate-style salaries, facilities, benefits, equipment and general resources, seem purely punitive and are badly hurting morale. Unfortunately, the trajectory of Creative Age as a workplace slopes sharply downward.
