This is a tough question to answer with a yes or no. Publishers vary so much that you almost have to take it on a case-by-case basis. IMO - what you want from a publisher is:
1.history of solid sales
2.History of identifying talent, and producing good products (this and #1 probably go hand and hand)
3.experienced editors. Meaning, editors with industry experience.
4.Distribution into markets not readily available to SP authors.
5.Identifiable marketing (this probably ties into sales too).

That's a lot for the lonely self published author to do on their own, though some have, and with great success.
