Pros

Health, vision, dental benefits are decent.

Cons

I don't even know where to start. Anyone who says they have a work-life balance is either lying or they have an intro (or very upper) position. Everyone in the middle suffers from severe lack of boundaries, being overworked, taken advantage of, and paid very unfairly. If you search, you can still find a repost of company salary breakdowns that were quickly taken down. There's absolutely NO consistency regarding pay structure between brands, positions and tenure. Most people do NOT receive raises or bonuses, and the pay is drastically different between people on the same team. Even if you're pulling the entire weight of your department, you can be paid offensively less than your team mates. That also brings me to lack of needed oversight and leadership because some people in power positions don't actually know how to manage a team, which effects every project. Conde almost only promotes women and POC when they're in hot water and want to look good. Not to say these folks don't deserve the positions---it just shouldn't take a whistleblower to prompt them to make these moves. They only care about money, and that is clear in so many toxic work situations. As soon as Covid hit they immediately laid off hundreds of employees. So, long story short, they do not value employees in the slightest. Terrible experience.

Pros

Great to be in proximity to such amazing brands like Vogue, Vanity Fair and the New Yorker

Cons

Pay is absolutely criminal unless you're "bonus eligible." Another billion dollar company crying poverty. Also, absolutely zero possibility of advancement.
