Pros

Getting to work with respected journalists.

Cons

Negative/stressful work environment at satellite offices, mostly due to understaffing and unrealistic expectations. Some corporate executives are abusive towards their DRs and are constantly cutting budgets.

Pros

Cash rich, debt free, broadly diversified company that is willing to take chances on new brands and potential marketing opportunities. A positive work environment that encourages and fosters an atmosphere of respect, courtesy and team spirit. Open access to professional development tools and inspirational content. Friendly competition between brands in the building that drives innovation and work ethic. Upward mobility possible given a good-fit opportunity.

Cons

Lack of clear communication about the company's strategy for thriving in a very and increasingly disrupted marketplace, particularly the impact on individual roles and job security.
