Pros

Worked as an intern on the Ad/Sales side for the Hearst Design Group. Everyone on the team was supportive and encouraged interns to be proactive, curious, and hard working. Learned a lot about the publishing industry and how it is integral to a magazine. Hearst community is unified and strong!

Cons

The only con is that interns are unpaid (school credit only). Especially since living in New York is very expensive, would encourage interns to look for grant or funding for costs.

Pros

Well-organized and good communication. As a contractor, I found Hearst to be a pleasure to work with.

Cons

I don't have any cons to report other than that the accounts payable is out of North Carolina and can take 60 days to receive payment.
