A good start in publishing; an infantilising corporate culture

Production assistant

Business Outlook

Pros

A great place to start in publishing, lots of good training and the chance to learn from teams across the company.

Cons

It’s hard to negotiate flexible hours and working from home, I often felt we were treated like naughty children. My wages were below the national average for my role.

Where video, media talent, intellect and integrity goes to die

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Not sure that pros are applicable

Cons

Video teams and social teams are in the dark ages. Constantly reliant on freelancers and dismissing in-house talent. Was told 'social media is new' by a very senior colleague. Not aware or interested in trends, community or online/internet culture and how that can enhance their respective publications' social platforms and performance. Very much believe they are something they are not.
