The benefits included being associated with a prominent name in the media industry, as well as having friendly colleagues.
Cons
However, there were significant drawbacks, such as abusive management, inadequate communication, an unpleasant work environment, unsatisfactory working hours, frequent instances of dishonesty and exploitation by the management, and a lack of transparency.
Nice product (print and digital magazines) covering interesting topics. Friendly, talented people in certain roles. Nice location. Offers opportunities for interns.
Cons
A few inexperienced, self-serving managers dismissive of others but grabbing the limelight for successes achieved. Pays among the lowest salaries in publishing, as workloads increase on top of understaffing. Surprise layoffs, summer 2016, following freezes on raises and 401(k) matching. Turnover increased, including at executive level.
