Pros

Offers remote although now strictly enforcing in-office days. Good to get bylines for new reporters but if you have integrity or experience prepare to be treated like it's your first day.

Cons

Everything. Zero respect for employees. Fully toxic environment, horrible bosses that micromanage everything. Would give no stars if I could. Also the "CEO" they list here is the only likeable exec at the company and is not the CEO. The actual CEO is horrible. Constantly changing goalposts without real explanation except "for sales". Forcing everyone to use AI without any real training or policies. HR does the bare minimum to avoid being sued. Constant layoffs and vague threats of being replace with AI. Oh, and they don't give raises.

Pros

I joined Key Media in June of 2021 and I've had an amazing working experience so far! As someone with a marketing background I was looking for more creative freedom, and that is exactly what I got! Management is very empowering and helps you reach your goals, but gives you the flexibility and creative freedom to work on projects without being micro-managed. Plenty of opportunities for growth within the company as well. HR was very helpful with on-boarding and connecting me with staff I would be working with on a regular basis. Overall I am extremely happy with Key Media and look forward to growing my career here!

Cons

I do not have any negative feedback to share at this time.
