Pros

Great people to work with, at least some.

Cons

Terrible pay. And count on being laid off when you turn a certain age. It’s automatic. And the copy desk is no more. Gotta save money somewhere, so why not get rid of the people who catch all the mistakes?

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.
