Assistant Editor Reviews
What is it like working as an Assistant Editor?
June 2015
Shoot and edit video and audio productions.
Assistant Editor:
Pros: Working with video editing software, tight-knit community, friendly co-workers, using critical thinking and creativity daily.
Cons: The poor pay rate. That is the only thing I dislike.
December 2014
Busy but great.
Assistant Editor:
Pros: The fact that I get to write articles on my own and use my theoretical skills in entertainment industry. That I get to meet a lot of people and go on photo shoots and set up my own photo shoots wit local celebrities.
Cons: I get paid very little and I feel that I do a lot more than is required of me.
July 2014
Demanding But Rewarding.
Assistant Editor:
Pros: There's something new to learn everyday. It challenges you to be involved and proactive about making the jump to acquire your own titles. The camaraderie among you fellow editorial folk is priceless, so while the occasional telecommuting option is nice you lose out on some of the workplace banter.
Cons: There are never enough hours in the day to get everything done; and in academic publishing, you can't fall behind because of course adoption cycles. Often times it leads to bringing work home, which is a huge problem.
January 2014
Editor In The Making.
Assistant Editor:
Pros: There is a lot of scope for editorial tasks which can be taken for Spire Journal, website and other related tasks.
Cons: The work environment is very dull and people are not very enterprising.
October 2013
Good people, poor management
Assistant Editor:
Pros: I enjoy working with interesting books and intelligent, engaging people. Stress levels are relatively low for most of the year and I am able to work with a significant degree of autonomy.
Cons: There is very little in the way of professional management or human resources support. I often feel isolated and would prefer to have more pro-active, people-focused management that does not simply focus on schedules and deadlines. There has also been little opportunity to broaden or improve my skills, or for promotion, with the added responsibility, interest, pay and job satisfaction that would bring.
