Pros

In an online world that needs more places for strong editors and writers to highlight their work, Narrative offers a thriving stable of editorially-independent content sites. The company started as an environmental website but has grown to cover topics from health to pets to how to make a great cocktail. Stories are well-reported and well-edited and imagery is top-rate. Strong editors and videographers are prized here and given the chance to showcase their work.

Cons

Because most of their websites are underwritten by a single sponsor, there's always the chance that a good editorial site can go under simply because sponsorship is taken away.

Pros

I worked with a lot of nice people even though I did not speak to them much because of the quiet office. Work was fairly interesting and for lower level people like myself it was not too demanding. I almost never had to work late. Some members of management seemed to have employees best interests in mind but they can also turn on those employees quickly. Office is beautiful and has a nice location but parking is expensive.

Cons

When I joined the company many employees had been with it since its beginning but I watched most of those people leave as they became unhappy with compensation and lack of upward mobility. What used to be an innovative company with a narrow focus has expanded into one that tries to appeal to a mass market and chases after any advertiser despite conflicts with the mission of its core brand. Management seems unwilling to adapt to trends in content creation and digital marking and instead focuses on mostly outdated methods of traffic generation. While some members of senior management are effective, they seem to be motivated mostly by the goal of not angering the ceo who is known for uncomfortably loud, inappropriate, and often cruel outbursts that employees have to awkwardly pretend not to hear. As with any job everyone is trying to keep their direct supervisor happy and keep their own position safe, but often that can hurt those at the lowest rung of the corporate ladder and make for an uncomfortable work culture
