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.

Pros

Sales team is super bonded over terrible senior management.

Cons

Executive leadership team is not equipped to manage high performing sales people. They mange first year sales reps the same as they manage 20+ years of experience sales reps. 5 members of the sales team have voluntarily walked off the team in the last 2 months and no changes have been made to leadership. Leadership said they were changing our comp plan mid year, but wouldn’t telling us what it was changing to (essentially asking us to sell like normal without telling us what we’d be paid).
