A place that distrusts its employees and is as disconnected as it is overly hierarchical
Pros
-Beautiful new Chicago location -Everyone is very courteous and friendly -Decent salary and benefits (if you didn't get them slashed during the 2009 crash) -The publications that do well are the ones with people that break away from the hierarchical drudgery
Cons
-Too much of a "whatever the boss/publisher/CEO says goes" mentality -Collaboration is said to be condoned, but most departments and publications have an entrenched territorial atmosphere -Employee happiness and good office culture are obviously not a priority. -The company doesn't even trust its employees to book a meeting room without an interpersonal manager as a go-between. -Independent projects, new positions and fresh approaches are often stalled or halted altogether due to lack of enthusiasm or office politics
