Pros

Great titles Huge potential to become brilliant and lead the industry Some amazing, talented people Some titles are extremely popular with brands

Cons

The most political workplace I have ever worked in - and cliques forming across the office which was stifling Zero social element Terrible office (although moving soon) The rules of business change so regularly that people were confused as to what could and could not be done Terrible internal communication Lack of direction Lack of clearly defined roles caused conflict across the board and did not contribute to a team ethic

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.
