Pros

The company has all the great benefits of a cafeteria, gym and a great beautiful building. Depending on what department/magazine you work, there's plenty of nice perks and freebies! And beautiful views!!

Cons

The salaries could be much better. It's knows for having the lowest in the publishing, you work a lot but get paid very little. It's not as fancy as it can seem to be from the outside.

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.
