Pros

Fantastic brands, heritage and location

Cons

No salary growth - have implemented a salary increase freeze since 2011 and only seem to promote senior level management / very entry level positions. No career growth prospects and very little perks. Building is unkept and dirty making for an unpleasant working environment.

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.
