Deputy editor

Business outlook

Pros

The office is in covent garden in central london, which is nice, and the editorial team are all amazing

Cons

Management will hire someone and use and abuse them for their 6 month probation period, until telling them they will not be renewing their contract, all whilst underpaying them by at least £5,000, providing no training or support, and constantly moving goalposts, and will give all feedback verbally so that there is nothing in writing to prove that they have changed instructions after the fact. Also, they entirely prioritise sales, expecting editorial staff to do multiple roles, whilst also supporting an entitled sales team who demand extra help whilst giving no support in return. Some members of the sales are also regularly racist and sexist but management does nothing to address this
