Pros

For a media company, it's currently one of the fairest and takes good care of its staff. We get health benefits, access to mental health support, there is a good maternity policy in place, HR takes you seriously and they are doing their best in a tricky market.

Cons

It's still journalism, which means job security is low, regular waves of redundancies are to be expected and we have had the odd sexual harassment/misconduct issue.

Pros

-Good insurance benefits. -The people I work directly with are pretty great. They deserve better -Very little mass lay offs for a media company. Pretty decent job security. -The tower is cool, random celeb glimpses were fun.

Cons

-Underpays severely. This is not a place where you’ll make good money unless you’re well connected/come in because they head hunted you. Their annual raises are a joke. When this is brought to management, you get a shrug at best. -Little to no upward movement. Good luck ever getting promoted. -Their return to office plan is cruel, unfair, archaic and flat out dangerous. As numbers increase in NY, HR is offering tee shirts and totes in exchange for employees to risk their lives coming into breathe on one another. -Interpersonal issues are dealt with by ostracizing and punishing. Some of the managers here are so incredibly inept it’s astonishing. - False promises, lies, half truths and hiding information is just their management style. - I could go on and on…
