Pros

Found some of hardest working folks who gave everything they had to getting the job done. Company is small enough to offer an inside view of how a media company works. Fun to work for a brand that is easily recognized.

Cons

My title says it all. Morale and fairness are cultivated from the top - down. This was not the case when I was there. Senior Management was nasty and their nastiness was rewarded. HR was equally as nasty and unqualified to deal with situations.

Pros

I worked on the Content Creation team which is primarily made up of contract employees. Work is remote, but plenty of opportunities to get together in office and meet other people and socialize afterwards. Everyone on the team is great to work with, there are efficient systems in place and it is a well-oiled machine! I've done two contract rounds with them and am looking forward to my next one.

Cons

No opportunities to convert from contract to staff. There are a lot of things that aren't available to contract employees that are only available to staff (certain meetings, resources, etc). Contract employees are limited to 18 months, and then are required to take a year off.

Pros

Some very nice people; had good benefits although those are being cut back because of financial uncertainty

Cons

Fading industry, frequent layoff cycles with hints of more to come, the company is trying to innovate but some divisions are slow to modernize other than throwing around silly talking points at meetings.
