Pros

There was LaCroix in the fridge.

Cons

Absolutely the worst bosses I've ever had at Clevver Style & Clevver News. More focused on their own Instagram accounts than making quality work. They will overwork you for not enough pay and even worse benefits. They couldn't care less about the COVID-19 pandemic and how it may affect their employers mental and physical health. They don't respect your time off. I once had a manager call me on Christmas morning to write a script about the movie 'Cats'. Management doesn't know what they're doing, won't take advice from people who do, and won't stick up for their employees when they provide feedback. We were sent incredibly misleading anti-union propaganda for a year. An employee got a concussion at work and wasn't allowed to get medical attention until they finished their assignment. Just overall an awful work environment.

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).
