Pros

Job descriptions are good.. Workflow is consistant, usually. Pay to freelance employees is quite low for the market. Equip and job facilities are good.

Cons

Company is very big which makes it hard to know what your co-workers in another city maybe doing or getting paid even. Most of the tech is up to date only at the last minute.

Pros

Great learning experience. Great company to put on your resume. I loved the middle management of my magazine - super friendly and encouraging. Upper management was cold and stand-offish. Great building - cafeteria and gym are wonderful! Great location. Perks - discounts,exclusive opportunities, etc.

Cons

Turnover is quick. No room for growth. Low starting salaries. Assistants are told they are paid hourly, however, at the magazine I worked at, we only got paid for 35 hours no matter how many hours we worked.
