Pros

Overall Hearst offers a great physical working environment--nice building, great cafeteria, gym, etc. The culture encourages the sharing of ideas, creative thinking and accessibility.

Cons

There can be too many layers and hurdles to get things done. Working with the Hearst Digital team can be challenging as there still does not seem to be a clear process after years of changes.

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).
