      Great job to start, but couldn't climb out of the hole management put us in

      Pros

      The pay was great for journalists, and the office atmosphere was good. It was nice having a cafe downstairs in the building.

      Cons

      Poor planning and management sunk the magazine division. hibu should never have hired so many field editors or expanded the number of magazines so quickly. The focus should have been on quality from the publication managers, not quantity. Also, a less ridiculous deadline schedule might have helped the PMs out - instead of bunching magazines up into one week, spread them out more. In less than six months we went from "magazines are awesome!" to getting laid off. The new execs hired in March never gave the magazine department a chance.

      A sinking ship that can't correct it's course

      Pros

      Co-workers who genuinely care and will help you whenever you need assistance, solid training program

      Cons

      Where to begin? Ever since Hibu was taken over in March, our new president has been two-faced from the start, first promising bold new ventures but only to follow up with massive layoffs. Sales reps aren't trained properly and spend more time on the phones than actually doing their jobs and, even then, some reps will bully you and treat you like you're their lap dog. Upper management could care less about making an impact in the market and seem okay with lousy products that customers don't want. Customers are grumpy because no one department communicates with the other.
