Pros

The best part of working for the company is being close to such iconic pop culture. As one of the last small media companies, there's a lot of involvement at every level into the creating and execution of company content. I also worked with many kind, smart, talented people at the company from whom I learned a great deal.

Cons

My experience with the company was filled with micromanagement, poor department communication, toxicity, crazy workloads and burnout, and little to no development or growth. Our department saw high turnover (also an issue with the company as a whole) and instead of replacing people who left, I absorbed about 3 people's jobs over my time there. I know this isn't uncommon, but it doesn't make it OK. Especially when there isn't any sort of acknowledgement of taking on this extra work and it's treated as a given or that you should be grateful for the opportunity. I heard that phrase a lot during my time there.

Pros

Great benefits Fun projects; great content Culture mostly nice people

Cons

Laziness is tolerated and rewarded. Lots of people pretending to work hard but have no idea what they are doing. Innovation and ideas are not rewarded - instead the mediocre folks will feel threatened and come for your throat. One of the most blatantly racist places I’ve ever worked and of course sexist. Micro aggressions are rampant on a daily basis. Don’t bother going to HR - they will just fire you or lay you off. Note: the majority of POCs hired are typically cleaned out within annual layoffs. If you are a POC (Black especially), avoid this place. They do not support or promote people of color. Very little diverse senior leadership and those that remain are beaten down to submission. They won’t help you. It’s a good thing they’ve cleaned out all of the dinosaurs (the CEO, COO some of the network presidents), but they should have done that long ago. The damage is done and the rot is settled in. Only accept a job here if you are desperate. Otherwise go where you are valued - not just tolerated.

Pros

You can get away with doing very little as long as you hire 1 or 2 people to do all the work.

Cons

Can you imagine going on medical leave and when you return, you don't even get a 'how are you feeling?' from both your manager or director. As a minority, can you image having the same job as 2 other coworkers, except you work 5 hours solo compared to them, getting a lesser raise than them, then asking your manager about it and she tells you, "life's not fair." Nepotism is celebrated, unprofessionalism is rampant, and quitting is the only way they'll promote you. Imagine telling HR this on your way out and they say "we know." I don't need to imagine it, as it's all true.
