Pros

Ethical news practices. Good vacation policy for long-term employees (up to 5 weeks).

Cons

Lower pay compared to other media companies, management is overly conservative when it comes to covering stories that could put the company in jeopardy with advertisers or cause legal harm.

Pros

Well-organized and good communication. As a contractor, I found Hearst to be a pleasure to work with.

Cons

I don't have any cons to report other than that the accounts payable is out of North Carolina and can take 60 days to receive payment.
