Takes Advantage of Women in Media

Recommend
Business Outlook

Pros

Brand recognition and that’s it

Cons

Refinery29 takes advantage of young women who are excited by their seemingly inclusive brand. They excite you with opportunities to “prove yourself” with an entry level position but make advancement near to impossible. The work hours are incredibly unreasonable, dangerous even. The amount of hours I worked and were not paid for are mind blowing. There is also a toxic work environment of managers with no managerial training trying to be buddies and get drunk with the staff.
