Pros

Great benefits that go beyond traditional insurance and 401k (which is incidentally 1.6% of the first 4% you contribute -- effectively 6.4%), good compensation, and supportive corporate culture. Bonuses can differ significantly from job grades. For example, I move from project manager to senior project manager and saw my annual bonus change from about $2,000 to $9,000. Both primary locations at headquarters in Atlanta have fitness centers, cafeteria, banks, dry cleaning services and free parking -- a good perk especially since offices are downtown where parking is often not free.

Cons

Management appears aloof and removed. There seems to be an "us" vs. "them" mentality among employees with respect to executive management. Although many at the executive level are well liked and respected for their talent and demeanor, a few present images and actions that promote a disjointed organization with aires of condescension.

Pros

It has a fabulous reputation, and it has the highest standards--at least in the magazine business where I work. If you can make it there, you can make it anywhere.

Cons

In the magazine division, there is a definite lack of investment and interest by top management. We have seen layoff after layoff, and people are worried all the time that our department will be axed as have several others in recent years. The top management acts as though magazines are so yesterday, and maybe they are, but, there'll always be a big business there, with millions to earn. And it's hard to work in a climate where the predominant strategy is disinvestment. Also, we never hear from top management, have no idea where we fit in, what the strategy is, or whether we will be sold to another company. I was here before and then returned recently to work here, and it is sad to find how few resources now are being devoted to real journalism, which is what I am here to do. Everything has to be done on the cheap. It's no longer Paradise.
