      Good place to work despite problematic upper management

      Pros

      When I worked there there were ok benefits, and great coworkers. The account manager/inside sales job was pretty easy to learn, and vendors gave out free samples of office supplies.

      Cons

      We had to work out of multiple databases when it would have been much more efficient to work out of one. Sometimes hard to work in large open area (distractions). Disconnect with upper management.

      Pros

      Hearst is a great company to work for. You have the opportunity to move around and find what works best for you. Some bosses are tougher than others, but that's everywhere. After a year in a position, you have the opportunity to apply for something else anywhere in the company.

      Cons

      You have to have a tough skin to work here. You deal with a lot of different personalities and I don't think the pay compensates for it.

      With a company of 20,000+ employees, we take pride in our diversity. With that being said, different personalities are inevitable.
