Pros

Hearst is a great company to work for. You have the opportunity to move around and find what works best for you. Some bosses are tougher than others, but that's everywhere. After a year in a position, you have the opportunity to apply for something else anywhere in the company.

Cons

You have to have a tough skin to work here. You deal with a lot of different personalities and I don't think the pay compensates for it.

With a company of 20,000+ employees, we take pride in our diversity. With that being said, different personalities are inevitable.

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).
