Pros

There was a lot of flexibility and some great titles to work with, competitive hourly rates for a freelancer. Working during fashion week/month kept me busy and allowed me to learn how Hearst Digital works.

Cons

Didn't like how the digital photo department ran. Few titles had dedicated photo editors for the site and they were often in separate locations with little or no creative communication.

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).
