Pros
- Great people/culture - Cool benefits from MIT (free MBTA pass, good benefits package, pension), lots of time off - Can travel for conferences - Can join taskforces/groups to meet others at the Press and expand day to day duties - Overall rewarding work
Kontras
- Wages below market rate across the board - Difficult to advance. Higher positions are usually filled by outside hires. Little transparency on when and how promotions will happen - Many employees work over time and are forced to take on too much work due to strained departmental resources (for no additional compensation) - Director’s vision can be confusing. Seems like investment is not being brought back to actual people who work for the Press and make it successful, but is spent on other “interesting” things that seem like distractions
