Conde can be cold, but they have a lot of opportunities.

Fashion assistant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

They are a special company. They are privately owned, and this aspect provides many benefits. There are a lot of career opportunities. If you are ready and good enough to move up another step in the publishing world, they could move you to a different magazine in order to continue the challange. When my coworker was ready to becoma an Associate Publisher, they moved her from Vanity Fair to Vogue. She is so happy in her new position.

Cons

It had a very cold, bitter atmosphere. My supervisors seemed misserable. One girl would always be crying or having a nervous breakdown. But on the other hand, there were assistants that could handle themselves... Although they weren't exactly happy either.

good for resume prestige, but take the goods and run before you let it consume you

Merchandising

Business Outlook

Pros

the prestige is by far the best reason, especially if you expect your career to exist within organizations that recognize the reputation of the place. there can be some cool perks in terms of gifts you may receive from the publishers or editors when an award or business goal is met.

Cons

politics and incompetent management. everyone in the building is hired by someone who knows someone, so you can never be sure in who's interest it is to keep certain employees around. brown-nosing is the best way to protect your position and have less battles for promotions - but there is also a backstabbing culture so you can also never be sure when someone will turn! basically, watch your back and take what you can from the experience and move on!

Glitz on the outside, hard work on the inside.

Business Outlook

Pros

the image, the challenge, the people, reputation and creativity. It's definitely a great place to gain experience and be challenged beyond your wildest dreams. Lots of innovation and energy!

Cons

Very long hours, very competitive people and managers. The philosophy seems to be that if you do a good job, you wont be recognized because you might take it to your head and stop working like a slave. There's not a lot of loyalty and no open door policy.
