Pros

Great company culture. Great benefits. The content we're producing is important and causes change.

Cons

There are frequent hiring freezes and layoffs happen often. Empty positions aren't filled, which forces the remaining staff to pick up the slack for no additional compensation or salary bump. No raises. Hard to move up or be promoted within your magazine.

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.
