Pros

The company had a great culture! People there were great to work with, they were laid back but knew when to lock down and get things done.

Cons

The magazine/publication industry is very rough. With that in mind, job security is very low, and you could be laid off due to the budget. Also, the pay is low, but that is expected with this career in multimedia.

Pros

Friendly co-workers, company committed to community service, located in a secure part of Detroit, fun perks like Detroit events periodically, networking event opportunities.

Cons

Little room for long-term growth, meaning there is a high turnover in lower-level creative jobs - Crain's lays off & hire someone new months later - poor use of resources. Not an inspiring atmosphere for a creative, strict brand guidelines which kill reasonable artistic freedom, leadership is not always strong, company is often very much stuck in old ways.
