Pros

As a full-time production assistant, my salary is great considering the fact that I'm in an entry-level job.

Cons

While the people in HR are friendly, they're not educated about company policies, not to mention they are really slow to respond.

Pros

Well-organized and good communication. As a contractor, I found Hearst to be a pleasure to work with.

Cons

I don't have any cons to report other than that the accounts payable is out of North Carolina and can take 60 days to receive payment.

Pros

Sales team is super bonded over terrible senior management.

Cons

Executive leadership team is not equipped to manage high performing sales people. They mange first year sales reps the same as they manage 20+ years of experience sales reps. 5 members of the sales team have voluntarily walked off the team in the last 2 months and no changes have been made to leadership. Leadership said they were changing our comp plan mid year, but wouldn’t telling us what it was changing to (essentially asking us to sell like normal without telling us what we’d be paid).
