      Pros

      Always a lot of interesting projects and events happening around you, people do seem to care about the work that they do and the building is amazing

      Cons

      Does not really have many opportunities for interns to get involved, difficult to communicate to other functions of the company.

      Pros

      Great legacy media company, tremendous headquarters, cafeteria is very nice. Lots of ongoing employee events featuring leaders in various industries.

      Cons

      Pay was not competitive. Culture was very stuffy for those expecting a tech or startup-type atmosphere.

      Pros

      This company is serious about their properties. Hearst is a debt free company. Hearst does not buy stations to build up and sell off. At the station I worked at, Hearst purchased the station and immediately building in upgrades to the facilities. Hearst values its products and settles for nothing short of being number one in the market.

      Cons

      Hearst promotes from within. Great if you are in the company, not so good if you are an employee of the previous owner. Hearst adjusted the size of the staff, released currently employees and brought in Hearst employees. If you are not up to speed on digital marketing, this is not the place for you. Media has changed and Hearst is a big part of that. If you cannot sell digital you will not be successful.
