Pros

Honestly, my time there was the most disgusting "professional" experience I've ever endured. I can say that having this company on my resume was the 'Pro' but I seriously want to forget I ever stepped foot in there. So I guess the pro was that I learned that all that glitters isn't gold and the horrid reputation alias "Conde Nasty" wasn't created by just 1 disgruntled employee.

Cons

Okay, so where do I start? Here goes: - micromanaging x 1,000 - cliquish unprofessional work environment - unprofessional work culture (including insensitive racial comments) - Unclear direction - Management over projects their vision unto team and anything else suggested isn't considered. - EXTREMELY PRETENIOUS - Ran like a dictatorship - Lack of team building or trust - There seems to be a huge lack of open-minded individuals with a diverse background All in all, this isn't a place to work if you're a kind, open-minded, creative professional.

Pros

You’re wealthy enough to be relaxed, but not wealthy enough to be careless.

Cons

but NYC’s costs prevent true luxury unless income is much higher.

Pros

Great to be in proximity to such amazing brands like Vogue, Vanity Fair and the New Yorker

Cons

Pay is absolutely criminal unless you're "bonus eligible." Another billion dollar company crying poverty. Also, absolutely zero possibility of advancement.
