Pros

Great office location and amazing building in NYC. Great cafeteria.

Cons

Hearst boasts of (record profits) $10.8 billion revenue growth yet they had layoffs and gave everyone I know less than 2% annual merit increases. Pretty shameful for a company that is so diversified and swimming in profits to treat employees this way. Enough with 2008 recession era excuses. The economy has fully recovered for Hearst but their employees wouldn't know it.

Pros

I love working at Hearst in the Baltimore, Maryland market. I have worked for many radio stations over the past nearly 40 years and this is one of the best companies as far as working environment. I really feel cared for here.

Cons

On a personal level, I've had a hard time getting full time employment within the company, which is discouraging. Also, it takes forever for management to make hiring decisions.
