Pros

The gorgeous building with beautiful people working for the most prestigious magazines. The location of the building is also pretty nice since it's in the middle of Times Square. Also, the cafeteria really has amazing food options.

Cons

I call the building "death star" because it's full of fashion robots who have sold their soul to who knows what..people don't really care about you at this company. The pay is definitely not enough and I don't know why they pay their assistants as freelance. We don't get any vacation days and no health insurance. It's a dog-eat-dog world and people there get extremely jealous. Get ready to work your ass off.
