      Pros

      Really close knit relationships with across of the AMP group. Dedicated staff used to working to get things done regardless of deadline! Truly understands the publication and marketing business. And, did i mention you basically work in a highly secured office that has eastern market literally at is back door. If you walk out the front of the beautiful campus your a quick 3 block walk from Greektown! Also, the Crain team truly knows that entire area so they are always going out to both Old and New Detroit hotspots for lunches and after work functions.

      Cons

      Pros

      The corporate team in Chicago seems to know what they are doing.

      Cons

      Lack of leadership. Everything depends on which publication you work for. You either have everything you need to do your job and be successful or nothing at all. All publications operate in a silo separate from each other and when you do communicate to other publications to share ideas and best practices it is frowned upon.
