Pros

Fun editorial brands to work for

Cons

Tight deadlines that prohibit creativity, they often promote likeable personalities and hold back others, expect you to work extra hours with zero time back in lieu or overtime pay. No creative training so it’s hard to progress. They just care about how quick you can get the work out the door, no matter the quality
