      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.

      Pros

      Plenty of vacation time and bonuses for sales related positions, good benefits including a free $50k life insurance policy, and a great team atmosphere with people that are mostly easy to get along with and supportive of your career. Rapid advancement opportunities for top performers.

      Cons

      Health insurance is pricey, and even more so for smokers. Above average pressure levels to meet sales quotas while expending valuable time training (often 10-15 hours a month) and gathering for weekly meetings. Difficulty transferring to other departments.
