Pros
I honestly can't think of any except maybe one could say it is a foot in the door onto something else.
Cons
Firstly, HR has the highest turnover of any company I have previously worked for, making it impossible for that dept. to exist. Imagine there being nobody to speak to if an HR issue arises - very unsettling. Those who have been in HR have violated employee's rights by disclosing confidential information, conversations and complaints filed to other supervisors and employees in the company. It is a lawsuit waiting to happen. Senior editorial staff discriminate against those they know they can while they power trip and do the least amount of work possible, taking credit for the hard work of the staff that works under them. It is so frustrating when you know you can't speak to your own supervisor or HR about anything. This comes at no surprise, but SB pays sub par salaries and barely gives standard PTO. Benefits are horrible, HR isn't there to help if needed, and upper management will find a reason to inhibit you from having a career here. Expect to work here for a year then plan on leaving - trust me. So glad I left.
