Pros

- Strong and transparent leadership team. - Inclusive culture that feels very welcoming with smart people who are aligned around a common mission to support local journalism. - Hearst-wide events, networking opportunities, and ERGs that extend beyond Hearst Newspapers (e.g. HearstLab, Level Up Ventures, ERGs, etc)

Cons

Hearst still has room for improvement when it comes to diversity. I've actively seen changes in the right direction since joining though.

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).
