Brand recognition and that’s it

Cons

Refinery29 takes advantage of young women who are excited by their seemingly inclusive brand. They excite you with opportunities to “prove yourself” with an entry level position but make advancement near to impossible. The work hours are incredibly unreasonable, dangerous even. The amount of hours I worked and were not paid for are mind blowing. There is also a toxic work environment of managers with no managerial training trying to be buddies and get drunk with the staff.

Pros

I loved my immediate team and it was the first time I had paid vacation time in my career so that was a plus.

Cons

The management was faulty from the top down. They boast that they support women but after giving birth I was expected to be on the road traveling within weeks of being back from maternity leave with no support. They also don't invest in higher up talent and HR is a complete and utter joke.
