Business outlook
Pros
The magazine publishing industry is exciting and is always changing. Hearst was particularly generous with time off and work/life balance issues. The facilities are great (new tower in midtown) and the cafeteria is a great place for eating, meeting and hanging out.
Cons
The company hasn't done the best job of adjusting to the changing media industry. The company also seems to be very cheap, which they actually pride themselves on. The communication between divisions can be tense at times, especially between newly formed online media groups and the traditional publishing units.
