Pros

Depends which team you’re on. Sales & edit are completely different vibes. Everyone comes across as pleasant & fairly easy going. Beautiful building. Edit / art team are both made of very talented people, and mostly fun to be around. Everyone in sales will welcome you with a smile, and are all motivated and hardworking. Opportunity to grow quickly and learn a lot. Fantastic work/life balance, healthcare, snacks, etc.

Cons

Crazy amount of gossip. (This review will probably be read out loud in the office, or forwarded around.) Deadlines rarely met, which means a lot of guesswork, busywork, and wasted time. Errors often caught late in the game, sometimes making it into print. Limited to no opportunity to do anything outside of print, so if you’re not interested in print editorial only...eh. Poor communication between art / edit teams, super poor communication from dept. heads. The pro to that is you sometimes can take creative control, but don’t be surprised if it’s shot down last minute. Out in the sales floor...a lot of crude jokes, totally demeaning & inappropriate. Super, super loud, which makes it difficult to concentrate in the office. Not the best atmosphere.

Pros

-Culture is amazing. I was happy driving to work every day. -Never a dull moment, business is serious but I never felt like this was a boiler room sales floor. -CEO all the way down to AD Managers genuinely cared about cultivating and furthering your growth within the company. Rather than simply firing and hiring more people they help you with anything you need with continued training and open door policy through phone, person or email to help you. -HR department is easily accessible and always at your disposal should you have any questions, always helpful. -Daily energy sessions in morning and afternoon to get you ready. -Breakfast every Monday. -Incentive trips, incentive trips. I was able to travel to Napa Valley, Dallas, Orlando and staying in 5 star hotels. -Performance coach who works with you 1 on 1 to help you achieve your goals. -Money, money, money. Big commission checks with no limit on what you can make.

Cons

None really. I had an amazing experience.

Pros

It's a life changing experience. This may not be the place for everyone. This was the place where I started my sales career and they are a firm believe that you are the product of your belief. It's true in real life. They believe in 4 pillars of ink and one of it being leaving people better than you find them. Those principles still adhere to me even after I have moved to another part of the world and on different career path. I felt bad quitting after our team had a new manager assigned. They saw my reason was genuine that I moved to China to study another language and I got a nice goodbye send off. Sweet bunch of coworkers. My coworkers were very supportive and would cheer every time deals were closed. That's just the spirit that I don't get to experience elsewhere. I worked with very ambitious, supportive, creative and smart coworkers and managers. Very grateful to have worked here.

Cons

The beginning could be intimidating. I got my first deal on my first week. My manager was meticulous and seemed hard to please. But I had to make it work so I had to change my mindset that there's a lot of things that I could learn from her and my coworkers and she's just pushing us to do our very best. The more she pushed, the more I could take home. In the end, I really respect her. I pushed myself to show her I that could deliver. We were great since then. I had a few bosses after that whom I respect a lot too. Changes are pretty often. But hey, that's life. We need to change our attitude and mindset, adapt to it, absorb the good and work on the cons.
