Pros

Decent pay and benefits, good HR team.

Cons

Was part of a company that was bought by Hearst. We were told there would be "no changes" and things would only get better. Shortly after the deal went through, several colleagues were laid off with no notice, including long time employees. This company considers you disposable at a moment's notice due to "organizational changes." I do not recommend working here.

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.
