Pros
This is a very entrepreneurial company, but highly effective and very professional.
Cons
Because they are so small their resources are limited. They do a great job with what they have to work with.

A great place to work, but not a lot of room for lots of advancement.

Pros
Great office, new computers, fun people. Great location, near the freeway and BART. Most people are very friendly and competent. You get hands-on experience doing whatever it is you'd like. Lunches are 1 hour and schedules are very flexible.
Cons
Pay, especially for younger employees, is extremely low. Also, some employees feel as though they are simply working to line the magazine founder's pockets, and that's pretty much true. Steve Rivera seems nice, but rarely speaks to the newer/lesser-paid employees and wears extremely expensive suits and cologne every day. Sometimes it feels as if he's rubbing it in your face. The sales people are equally obsessed with money and material items and it's very difficult to relate to them. One editorial staff member left his job as an assistant editor making only $24k -- that's slave labor.
