Pros

Very few pros, a lot of cons to be honest.

Cons

Out of touch, awful management. Expensive benefits. No work/life balance. No opportunities to learn/promote. No one has received a raise in many years, no bonus, no COLA. Non-sales people paid at well below market rate. Morale is terrible, everyone is miserable and management turns a blind eye. A culture of favoritism, management drinks with subordinates and has put themselves in a very compromised position. Management rules by bullying and guilting employees into silence. Terrible ethics, greed rules all.

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.
