Pros

Amenities and building are world class

Cons

Endless cons including poor management from the top down, overworked employees because of tight magazine budgets, nasty colleagues (some), bureaucratic rules prevented me from taking another job within the company. Making $32k in NYC doesn’t really work either. I was reprimanded for submitting my overtime hours.

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.
