Pros
Healthcare, I guess. And with the exception of a few individuals, there are some wonderful people who work there.
Cons
This company is in such shambles--sometimes literally, as in the case of the carpet that's falling apart--it's hard to know where to start. Morale has been on sharp decline for a long time now, and consequently, the turnover is outrageously high. In the past year alone, Diablo magazine has lost its managing editor, a digital coordinator, an associate editor, TWO art directors, and an editor in chief (and from what I hear, it's about to be TWO editors in chief). And that's just one department--the turnover has been just as bad across the entire company. The "leadership" is a joke. The president of the company has no plan and readily admits to it, and he spends more time doing line edits for the magazine than actually trying to grow the company. The editorial director is extremely unprofessional, and she spends more time manipulating and undermining the editorial team (on multiple occasions, she tried to get me to turn on my colleagues) than figuring out ways to grow the magazine. But the worst of them is the "creative" director, who hasn't had a fresh idea since the early '90s. He actually believes he can do no wrong--meaning you will have to go along with his bland, uninspired, and often nonsensical design choices. And that's not even mentioning the "former" owner that dictates editorial and art from afar. On top of that, this company is a lawsuit away from going under. Its treatment of its female employees is absolutely atrocious. If you're a woman, don't expect your ideas to get taken seriously, and don't expect to be paid at anywhere near the rate men are paid. I am a male, and I started at the company as an assistant editor for DCP; when I transferred to the magazine, the woman they hired to replace me earned almost $10/hr LESS than I did. And as an associate editor at the magazine, I found out I made nearly $10,000 MORE than the female managing editor, and almost $20,000 MORE than the other (female) associate editor. Stay away. Even if you just graduated and are trying to break into the industry, find somewhere else to work. This company is a dead end, both in terms of your career and your soul. Trust me, you can do better.
