Pros

My pay checks haven't bounced yet. The work/life balance is great because nobody around me works all that hard. Nobody is here after 5:30pm so I'm able to get home to my family. That's great!

Cons

Where to start? Total lack of direction. Management is awful (see above). Team doesn't have cutting edge ideas. Same thing over and over. How many times can you pitch a food truck idea? We are on #327. No marketing done so when I tell people where I work they have no idea who we are or what we do. They've never even heard of many of our "big" titles and frankly that's no surprise because who buys magazines now days? And we aren't doing squat in the digital space. I'm here through the end of the year then I need to look for something else.

Pros

Vacation time (although many scrambled to take it before they lost it b/c of too many accrued days), free basic health plan and good paid option. They play up Friday bagels as a benefit. But I don't buy that. Best was the week b/w christmas and new year's off. Everyone's gone. no guilt.

Cons

Too much information shared among too few people. People are very territorial about what they share with whom. Seems competitive within one's own dept. No delegation. No room for advancement. Company behind in digital initiatives and has had a number of layoffs as a result. Magazines are all silos. No common
