Future reviews

Sometimes working with very old, outdated hardware and software. Sometimes felt like putting plasters on bullet wounds. Needed more investment in IT Infrastructure.

Pay is terrible and you have to supplement your income with freelance in order to afford to live. No bonuses or other incentives for creating a good magazine for editorial staff. Events are sporadic and infrequent, so despite the claim that there is one staff event a month, sometimes there will be no event for several months. No proper training. Generally incompetent and untrained managers, with the rare exception. Directors are rude, offensive and manipulative. Teams are small, and if a team member leaves, the company doesn't bother to hire someone to replace them. Directors make it very obvious that they have favourites, and these favourites usually get their way if they throw a tantrum. Directors generally don't trust the staff they employ. Working hours are not flexible, you do not have the choice of working from home, you must go for lunch at a specific time, and god forbid you take a sick day! Directors also don't trust their staff to know the magazines they work on. Often they disregard and undermine their editors' knowledge and force their own opinions on the magazine.
