From Skyhorse PublishingEmployee(Current Employee)‐ Rating 5 out of 5 — Wed, 7 Jun 2017
Pros
Based on my two years with the Company, Skyhorse Publishing is a youthful, fast paced working environment. It is the right place to learn the inner workings of the publishing industry and to gain valuable work experience with the Company's hands-on approach. You really get the opportunity to learn the ins and outs of the industry, especially as an entry level employee. Skyhorse grants its employees flexibility to work outside the scope of your normal job duties to get a feel for the publishing process as a whole, with great opportunity for growth. If you need support professionally, it is very easy to build great relationships and network within the Company. Where else could you get face-to-face time with the Publisher! There is a diversity of projects, competitive salaries and great benefits (401k, medical, dental, vision, life insurance, maternity leave, and more). Management is understanding of the needs of their employees, which helps with the overall work/life balance. The Company also has summer Fridays!
As a working mom, the Company and managers are understanding to the needs of juggling a family and our day-job. On International Women's Day, a group of women in the office (management and entry level positions) gathered together to acknowledge how empowering it is to be a women in this day and age! Overall my work experience has been a positive one and I hope that the Company continues to grow for years to come.
Cons
The workload can be overwhelming at times but really no different from other job experiences.
