Pros

Being part of a small trade publication within a larger company (Emerald) means there is a lot of room to make an impact and have your voice heard. If you are interested in the subject matter it is a nice niche where you can make a lot of industry connections.

Cons

A lot of different and shifting responsibilities and tight timelines. A fair amount of turnover with junior staff because teams are so small there isn't much room for growth.

Thank you for your review. We are pleased to hear you had a positive experience in your role as an Editor, and achieved exposure in your industry—that is definitely one of the key perks of working on one of our b2b publications. Typical of any editorial environment, we are deadline-driven, so the timelines are not unusual. As we continue to grow as a company, we foresee more opportunities for our junior staff to move both within their team and cross-functionally.

Pros

-Depending on what team you're on, you get a lot of autonomy. (on the flip side, see con- if you're on the wrong team) -Good benefits -Fun events & Travel opportunities

Cons

-People getting laid off left and right all time. One minute you have a team mate and the next they are just gone. -Management is top heavy and operates like a fraternity -If you're on the wrong team every move is watched -Your job is NEVER safe -Imagine with the acquisition that was just announced by Apollo that the reason for layoffs was to become lean before transition. I would hedge bets that this will also continue to be a numbers game and positions are going to be uncertain -Sales plans are always ambiguous and there were even times where the plan wasn't out until several months into the year. Expected to sell over and above but didn't always have a sales plan to follow. It was always changing.
