Pros

Company promotes collaboration in the workplace. Trying to emulate the environment of an agile start up with over 40,000 employees worldwide is admirable. Very good at making things seem appealing. Oh, and there's an internet bar in the lunchroom so you can have meetings when you chow down that bologna sandwich.

Cons

Horrible work/life balance. Decisions focused solely on bottom line with little regard to customer, no communication from management, nepotism, complete lack of quality management.

Pros

The Ad Solutions Dept. offers paid training, a friendly and casual work environment and upward mobility options. There are many events to attend and involvement in the company is highly regarded. You are not judged randomly by your managers, but instead you are given the chance to see your in-depth metrics, where you also get a chance to set goals for yourself. Good job for a skilled writer fresh out of college who wants to move up over time into an editing and then managerial role. Promotions are fast if you chase after them. Managers are understanding and time-off is not a problem since people are always looking to work an extra shift. Because the nature of the job is so interesting, this position is great for building a resume. The people are friendly and there's a feeling of camaraderie in the office. You're also given a pretty nice desk and the offices are secure and modern.

Cons

- Evening Shift: This shift is basically overnight, usually from 9 p.m. to sometimes 4:30 a.m. - As you move up, you will most likely stay in the night shift, even after three or four promotions. - Management sometimes turns a cheek to employees that act out of line/take advantage of the system, while holding almost too high of standards for others. - Part-Time for a long time. I've met employees that have been kept at part-time for over a year, which is usually equivalent to 30 hours a week. This may be a good thing because working five nights on the night shift can be difficult and draining. - Production environment that feels rushed each night. - Criticism: You need to take it well. Some editors are understanding and others are nit picky. - High Turnover: New writers all of the time because the nature of the work.
