Leave your soul at the glass door!

Editorial assistant and event planner

Pros

Bragging rights, another notch on the resume. Really, the name itself is sometimes reason enough for people. If you position yourself correctly, you will meet the famous designers and get to handle the amazing clothes. I just didn't care enough about those things to make it all worthwhile for me.

Cons

16 Hour Work days. Making your boss LOADS of money while you barely make rent. Losing all respect for yourself while making no impact on the world. I mean, some people love it. It just wasn't for me. The editorial side was better than the event planning side for me.

Pros

Opportunity to work on high-quality publications which are leading the magazine world. There is also a dedication to producing great work by all departments, not just the forward-facing ones. The company is organized well, with competent leadership heading up teams with a cohesive purpose and vision.

Cons

Difficulty with interdepartmental organized communication - often lots of meetings are scheduled, which does help communication but in an inefficient way. There are also many legacy systems in place, which make producing projects more cumbersome than it should be. There is some doubt as to the company's long-term strategy - the recent technology purchases are either brilliant or just grasping at straws buying hip companies and hoping things work out.

Great for your rep; not sure about your soul

Pros

Its reputation proceeds it -- there is a halo effect just by having the name on your business card. The magazines are generally first rate products respected by readers. The pay is pretty much top of the line for journalists, and the travel budget seems endless.

Cons

There seems to be a sense of: As long as the magazines look good and sell ads, no one cares how happy employees are. The cultures inside the different magazines vary widely, and some treat writers and editors with respect while others clearly do not. And the technology choices made by CN's IT department are, to be kind, baffling.
