Probably the WORST place I've ever worked.

Pros

Decent salary. That is all. Benefits were weak. Management was insane. The CEO thinks he's a media mogul when he's just a failed newspaper reporter -- I propagandist.

Cons

Everything else. Requiring "managers" to punch a time clock. No business plan, just duping unsuspecting yokels to buy their crappy products and get a "free" subscription to their pathetic magazine.

Pros

decent money, benefits after 3 months unless you're related to the owner somehow

Cons

Confusing and fear-based work environment, dirty office, no confidentiality, at work in the morning, fired by lunch....you never know. Everybody is on xanax....I wonder why?! See the writing on the wall....if you need a paycheck, great....if you want a great work environment where you are happy RUN the other way!

Completely Dysfunctional

Pros

Steady paycheck. Some of the people there are very talented.

Cons

Every employee lives in constant fear of being fired on a daily basis, regardless of the results you're providing. Their business model is just short of selling snake oil and you're expected to convince the customer that it's legitimate. Promotions and wage increases are based on favoritism, nepotism and who complains the most. There is such a lack of communication from upper management and between different departments that every day is a constant struggle, and apathy runs rampant throughout the company because of it. They will tell you you're the best employee ever to walk through the doors at breakfast, and fire you by lunch time. If you just need a job/paycheck go for it, but if you're seriously looking to get into the the media biz with a reputable company look elsewhere.
