Young, Hungry and Growing

Pros

Company culture is fantastic, 401K match is amazing, they do a lot to unite the company and take care of employees. Definitely on an upward swing, you'll learn a lot from working here. Complex is always pushing to do better and has done an excellent job owning their market.

Cons

The company has grown really fast in the past few years and corporate mentality is taking over a bit as well as being a "boys club" for the most part. There is a lot of turnover and things can change very quickly with little or no heads up. I was shocked at how young everyone is there, most employees are in their young 20s.

Disorganized internship program

Pros

Lots of smart editors to learn from if they're willing to teach you.

Cons

Interns are perceived as free labor.There is absolutely no structure to the internship program, or the overall publication for that matter. It amazes me that this place manages to keep the lights on. The office space is run down and short on equipment. The editorial staff is sterile and pompous. I'm all for hard work and earning my keep, but there is a point where you realize you're just being taken advantage of.
