      A LOT of room for improvement. Unorganized, cut-throat enviroment, low morale within staff, demotivating

      Pros

      I do not see any pros to working at this company

      Cons

      Unattainable sales quota's, constant over lap by other reps, lacks lead generation, no CRM tool, changes comp plan on a whim. This division (Hearst Media Services) isn't making year over year profits, revenue continues to decline.

      Cons

      1- Declining print magazine division 2- Century old school style corporate governance 3- Layers and layers of incompetent management, especially the digital media group 4- Lack of core leadership from top executives to group managers 5- The mobile and digital development team is a total joke 6- No company culture 7- More politics than the U.S. Congress 8- Finger pointing is the solution for managers in order to divert their own failures 9- Working environment feel more like a wall street bank than a media company 10- No career advancement. Promotion to those in an exclusive club (See #7, #8)
