No Light At The End Of This Long Tunnel

Pros

They're still paying the electric bill.... so the lights and heat are still on. John Marcom is no longer the CEO so that should be updated. He was better than the current person.

Cons

Everything. The executive has no direction. I've seen and heard management talk badly about each other because it's cut throat and not real leaders. The current president is Rachelle Considine and she's awful as far as a leader goes. She might be good at Sales but NOT the rest of the business. We've been focused on 'digital' efforts for over a year with no deals in sight. print is dying and so is future. It's sad that people spend a majority of their time updating their resume and going to interviews. I can't help but wonder if the company really worked if they'd be somewhat successful.

Run!

Pros

The only good thing is the unlimited vacation

Cons

The EIC of Marie Claire (Nikki) is horrible. No leadership skills—she only cares about making herself look good on Instagram. Her entire team is overworked and stressed and she continues to push them even more. Do not work for her or Future! Run the other way!

Confusion and chaos

Pros

Unlimited PTO. My company was acquired by Future.

Cons

My company was acquired by Future. A once cohesive culture became chaotic. People crying in meetings was not unheard of. The phrase "we all row the boat" was constantly thrown about but the 'underlings" were treated as disposable widgets.
