Pros

Freedom to cover topics of choice without limitations as long as other work is completed in an appropriate manner and topics are related to industry.

Cons

Not many downsides but as the publications industry tends to run, salary never seems to be a particularly strong point.

Pros

A good work environment and leadership that seems to care about people, though in 2009 we've had a tough few months.

Cons

It's privately held and cautiously managed at a time when companies, especially in publishing have to be taking some chances.

Pros

Publications are made of entrepreneurial minded and passionate professionals. Corporate groups have grown and are there to provide support to the brands. All of the offices I've seen make a great first impression! Community involvement and charity work is viewed as important to leadership and build cross brand relationships. Benefits are in alignment with what I've seen elsewhere but family friendly culture is above norm.

Cons

No organization is perfect. Better communication of successes across the publications and reasons for any changes would benefit all but is not uncommon in a company with multiple business/operating units.
