Pros

Great brands Talented people Good perks - events, sample sales and freebies Quite glamorous in a “devil wears prada” type of way

Cons

Toxic culture full of egos and cliques Witnessed some of the worst cases of bullying in my whole career HR useless and allow this carry on fully aware it’s happening Constantly merging magazines to cut down on staff A yearly cut of staff - where they play members of staff off against each other for roles, where winning means you get to do two jobs for the salary of one Salaries are poor and way below industry averages Stuck in the dark ages when it comes to digital work Impossible to get a new idea through or make any change Very unstable, you can get cut at anytime
