Great senior management, lacking talent in the middle.

Pros

Solid company with a long history, and the culture is set up to respect the individual workers

Cons

While the top-level senior management is great with their vision, communication and support, the upper middle management (VP-level) all seem too focused on protecting their turf than to be good leaders.

Pros

Hearst has an excellent benefit package and good, solid guidelines to protect employees from harassment, ect., in the work place. Hearst also has a good reputation as a news leader.

Cons

Salaries are not fair for all employees, they are chosen on a person-to-person basis and are extremely low in comparison to other newspapers in the area I work. A journalist at a local weekly tabloid makes more than I do as a lower level editor at the largest daily paper in the area.

Lovely on the outside, crummy on the inside.

Pros

The cache of working for a Hearst Magazine, especially in the shiny new glass tower, was definitely quite cool and helped with bringing in clients and reps in from outside companies.

Cons

Internally, everything was a secret, and even the staff would often find out about essential news about your own magazine from outside sources before the top editors would even admit it, which definitely made us look bad. The way people were promoted made no sense. The ones who went home everyday at 5:30 were the ones who got promoted numerous times while the ones who were still working their butts off, burning the midnight oil, were the lowest paid and never acknowledged for their extra work. Also, I've never paid so much copay on medical benefits as I have at Hearst.
