Pros

The magazine is a good product and has relevant editorial. The website has been redesigned and is now mobile friendly.

Cons

There is very high turnover in the advertising sales and marketing departments among newer employees in this small company. There is a management culture of command and control, rule by fear and intimidation and bullying versus being supportive and collaborative. The workday starts at 8am and it is important to clock in each day and not schedule a sales call close to home before coming into the office. They would rather you drive back and forth in the middle of the day which can be inefficient. There are a lot of advertising clients that are house accounts. Not a good culture or work environment. The health benefits are mediocre and there is no 401K.

Pros

Uncapped commissions and no territories, you can sell to anyone that is not sold or being worked. First place I've worked with multiple incoming sales leads given weekly. Support staff does all the heavy lifting for collecting money and ad approval. All I had to do is sell ads. Many warm leads created through winner lists given to the sales team. Commissions don't change when resigning clients, true book of business sales. The magazine has a huge voice in the community.

Cons

Its a lot of calling, but that's sales.
