Pros
There's opportunity for advancement, and for those who love magazines, Hearst owns several of the best-known titles. Management was also very knowledgable about their fields and willing to teach others. Also, since most of the magazines have celebrity covers, it was a great way to work with different aspects of the entertainment and fashion industries.
Cons
It's such a large company that you don't always get to know everyone in the building. It can feel very segmented at times. Also, since there are so many divisions and acquiring of properties, it could be a challenge keeping up with all of the companies' news.
