Pros

Great work/life balance Progressive attitudes Nice time off policy Respectful and professional employees; safe environment

Cons

Indifferent HR department Raises/promotions infrequent, so salary negotiation is critical Wish there were more opportunities for flextime/work-from-home

Hearst Response

Managers are becoming more open to work-from-home idea as of late. If you prove yourself early on as a conscientious employee, you are setting yourself up for a better chance to have this option.

Pros

Solid media group considering the turmoil most of the industry is going through these days. They keep their assets diversified and that helps guarantee revenue other than the one coming from their Media Group. Support innovative initiatives and push for change.

Cons

Upper management is very disengaged from employees, lack of employee retention policy, fast and furious turnover, sometimes confusing management strategy.
