Pros

Would rather pay overtime than be short staffed. Ability to transfer to other Hearst Station ls with ease.

Cons

Although recently aquired stations are upgrading the construction can be annoying

Pros

Everyone in the company is very nice and willing to help. Lots of things to learn, in my department account executives took me to different sales meetings. Hearst itself has lots of resources to offer.

Cons

Since lots of work are performance-based, many people work very hard under great stress. The environment sometimes can be intense. All interns are unpaid... which kinda suck.

Pros

Company has many exciting ideas

Cons

Execution from upper management is weak, big disconnect to those making it happen. We do not get paid market value and have recently LOST compensation. Many good people leaving due to the JV with Conde Nast and many others looking for new jobs, this will be Hearsts biggest failure if they don't find a way to properly compensate the staff leading the project.
