      Struggling with Digital

      Pros

      Beautiful, glossy print magazines—that are getting thinner and thinner each month. Talented, passionate, creative people. Name recognition.

      Cons

      Paranoid atmosphere, since they're often pushing people out to make way for younger, cheaper editors. (Especially in the digital realm, where they often hire men to run their women's sites—Vogue, Allure, W.) Desperate print people clinging to their jobs, and trying to hijack digital. Lack of digital vision from the higher ups. Cliquey culture.

      Great job if you want to refer to work as a "torture chamber."

      Pros

      It is a steady job (if they don't squeeze you out).

      Cons

      Lives up to its horrible reputation, especially in terms of management. Passive-aggressive, manipulative, scapegoating and witch hunting. Employees are TOLD what to do, never asked for opinions. Management is sloppy and downright demeaning. Fear/punishment-based operation...morale is extremely low. Upper management self-promotes while constantly skimming from employee budgets and self-respect.

      Pros

      Honestly, my time there was the most disgusting "professional" experience I've ever endured. I can say that having this company on my resume was the 'Pro' but I seriously want to forget I ever stepped foot in there. So I guess the pro was that I learned that all that glitters isn't gold and the horrid reputation alias "Conde Nasty" wasn't created by just 1 disgruntled employee.

      Cons

      Okay, so where do I start? Here goes: - micromanaging x 1,000 - cliquish unprofessional work environment - unprofessional work culture (including insensitive racial comments) - Unclear direction - Management over projects their vision unto team and anything else suggested isn't considered. - EXTREMELY PRETENIOUS - Ran like a dictatorship - Lack of team building or trust - There seems to be a huge lack of open-minded individuals with a diverse background All in all, this isn't a place to work if you're a kind, open-minded, creative professional.
