Pros

-Experience - Whether you're working in graphics or editorial you're given the opportunity to see how to create a magazine from beginning to end (full production) -Vibe - Owner is pretty positive and easy-going -Hours - The hours are fair although sometimes you have to stay later to make edits during final print cycle

Cons

-Management - Poor. I felt micro-managed too often -Pay - Incredibly low and pretty unfair in my opinion especially after working for various magazine and publishing companies after this job -Lack of Mobility

Pros

Good, small company! Everyone is a joy to work with. Very casual working environment and everyone seems to have the same goal of making the company a better place to work in. Flexible time and very approachable people. Good work/life balance.

Cons

Company feels like it grows too big, too fast. Easy enough to make suggestions to certain processes but challenging to convince of effectiveness because most people seem to have that "we've been doing this for years" attitude.

Pros

Fun working for a local community business. Fairly flexible hours and schedule. The magazines are admired by most people who are familiar with them.

Cons

Out of date practices, no new initiatives, not open to new ideas or feedback. The owners are nice but procrastinate on everything. They over promise and under deliver in all areas. The general policy is whatever benefits the company, never the employees or customers. Extremely low pay. No incentive to work hard here which burns employees out. High turnover rate in all departments.
