Pros

The magazine publishing industry is exciting and is always changing. Hearst was particularly generous with time off and work/life balance issues. The facilities are great (new tower in midtown) and the cafeteria is a great place for eating, meeting and hanging out.

Cons

The company hasn't done the best job of adjusting to the changing media industry. The company also seems to be very cheap, which they actually pride themselves on. The communication between divisions can be tense at times, especially between newly formed online media groups and the traditional publishing units.

Pros

I love working at Hearst in the Baltimore, Maryland market. I have worked for many radio stations over the past nearly 40 years and this is one of the best companies as far as working environment. I really feel cared for here.

Cons

On a personal level, I've had a hard time getting full time employment within the company, which is discouraging. Also, it takes forever for management to make hiring decisions.
