      Pros

      Worked as an intern on the Ad/Sales side for the Hearst Design Group. Everyone on the team was supportive and encouraged interns to be proactive, curious, and hard working. Learned a lot about the publishing industry and how it is integral to a magazine. Hearst community is unified and strong!

      Cons

      The only con is that interns are unpaid (school credit only). Especially since living in New York is very expensive, would encourage interns to look for grant or funding for costs.

      Fun environment and the people are great. Holiday parties and we decorate the office. Lots of contests where you can win money.

      Cons

      Lack of Support and the digital campaigns were failing to execute. Too much churn going on and loss of existing customers

      Pros

      The tower in Columbus Circle is the most beautiful place I've ever worked. The natural light – it is leed-certified – makes an enormous difference. I have worked with the company off and on over the years, and I accepted my last full-time gig there based on the cafeteria alone. This is a very corporate environment, but everything depends on the particular group you work in. There are some extraordinarily lovely human beings in this company. Abigail Greene, who has been with the company for 15 or 20 years, is a goddess.

      Cons

      Hours can be brutal. Salaries tend to be low. One gets the sense that the company can keep celery slow because it attracts a certain demographic – those with trust funds – of employee. Who don't need to be properly paid.
