Pros

My pay checks haven't bounced yet. The work/life balance is great because nobody around me works all that hard. Nobody is here after 5:30pm so I'm able to get home to my family. That's great!

Cons

Where to start? Total lack of direction. Management is awful (see above). Team doesn't have cutting edge ideas. Same thing over and over. How many times can you pitch a food truck idea? We are on #327. No marketing done so when I tell people where I work they have no idea who we are or what we do. They've never even heard of many of our "big" titles and frankly that's no surprise because who buys magazines now days? And we aren't doing squat in the digital space. I'm here through the end of the year then I need to look for something else.

Pros

shiny looking website they spent an exuberant amount of money on

Cons

They exploit their employees ferociously. If you love yourself or your life - do not work for this company. Clients - don't sign up! They do programs and pretend it's custom. They spend hundreds of thousands to hire new shiny CEOs but pay their coaches around $40k/year to maintain 100 clients. You are not special - they just put up a lot of metrics to pretend to make you feel that way. No coach can actually connect with 100 clients and write a personalized program. That's why the "management" pushes coaches to use as many templates as they can. They do big lay offs of any coaches who don't want to maintain 100+ people. They also are actively working to use any/all Apple Watch data to sell and use in any way they can monetize. So DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR APPLE WATCH DATA. It's smoke and mirrors and not anything actually useful (especially for the pricepoint they are asking!)
