Pros

the ability to make $$$ - if you are performing well, manager leaves you alone. Good group of people and lots of incentives to do well.

Cons

office is dumpy, it is stressful, but the stress is a good thing in a sales job. you have to learn the ropes in order to succeed.

Pros

Hearst is a great company to work for. You have the opportunity to move around and find what works best for you. Some bosses are tougher than others, but that's everywhere. After a year in a position, you have the opportunity to apply for something else anywhere in the company.

Cons

You have to have a tough skin to work here. You deal with a lot of different personalities and I don't think the pay compensates for it.

With a company of 20,000+ employees, we take pride in our diversity. With that being said, different personalities are inevitable.
