Pros

My pay checks haven't bounced yet. The work/life balance is great because nobody around me works all that hard. Nobody is here after 5:30pm so I'm able to get home to my family. That's great!

Cons

Where to start? Total lack of direction. Management is awful (see above). Team doesn't have cutting edge ideas. Same thing over and over. How many times can you pitch a food truck idea? We are on #327. No marketing done so when I tell people where I work they have no idea who we are or what we do. They've never even heard of many of our "big" titles and frankly that's no surprise because who buys magazines now days? And we aren't doing squat in the digital space. I'm here through the end of the year then I need to look for something else.

Pros

- Everyone is super engaged with their work - Teams meet and share their progress regularly - Remote work that respects your timezone

Cons

- Unbearable amounts of micromanagement - Questionable journalistic ethics, e.g. "reviewing" products that have merely been unboxed and photographed, as well as excessive AI authorship - Extremely misleading work expectations — was told in interviews that I would be working on one story per day, resigned when I was expected to handle more than 15 in a week - Very reluctant to grant PTO or sick days — work "missed" while off is expected to be made up for twofold, and I was told at one point while sick with the stomach flu to "get over it" and "just work on 'easy' stuff today"
