Pros

Treat their employees well and have strong internal facing communication fostering a positive culture. Management styles are reflective of brand/division (which varies widely), however upper management is positively motivated to move the company forward.

Cons

Magazines are going through growing pains and brands are redefining themselves in the evolving marketplace. It's difficult for a large corporation to move with speed, but they're trying. Salaries are known to be lower then competitors.

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.
