Pros

Tons of perks and great events participating with the advertising partners. Most of the people are very personable. Its very easy to create positive working relationships and friendships both within the company and across industries.

Cons

Its largely print publications, and it can be a bit "Devil Wears Prada" from leadership. You need to assert boundaries with leadership or they will take eat your personal time. They operate under the culture of "you need this job, so do what we say"... Its not entirely detrimental, its just a bit of a politics game such that you need to upward manage or management will walk over you.

Pros

Well-organized and good communication. As a contractor, I found Hearst to be a pleasure to work with.

Cons

I don't have any cons to report other than that the accounts payable is out of North Carolina and can take 60 days to receive payment.
