Pros

Renowned company, growing in some areas Opportunities (for example interviews, premieres, celebrity events) that other work experiences cannot match Decent holiday allowance

Cons

Relies on its name and strong brand awareness to such an extent that the realities of being an employee are disheartening, unrealistic in terms of salary (given the roles), and from what I witnessed leads to a 'brain-drain' effect - only the privileged can afford to begin their career (/get their foot in the door) here on the journalism side

Pros

Well-organized and good communication. As a contractor, I found Hearst to be a pleasure to work with.

Cons

I don't have any cons to report other than that the accounts payable is out of North Carolina and can take 60 days to receive payment.
