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

Their brands cover a wide range of products. Lots of tax write-offs. The employees are good, hard-working people with diverse interests and talents.

Cons

There is little to no mentoring or career growth. Maybe even the opposite. I have yet to meet a manager that actually takes the time to learn the strengths of the staff. The office is located in the middle of nowhere. You have to drive to food or hope there is a good food truck nearby. If you have to drive south to food, you must first drive about a mile north, then backtrack that same mile south before starting your southbound journey.
