Pros

Decent salary, a lot of autonomy initially.

Cons

Terrible ego-maniacs as bosses who will just rag on you no matter what you do. They love nothing more than calling you out on anything you do wrong and will not lend a hand but rather call you out to all your peers to make themselves look better. Noone believes in the leaders of the trade publications here and they know that the overall company doesn't seem to care for the publishings anyway so they treat their sales staff atrociously.

Pros

-Depending on what team you're on, you get a lot of autonomy. (on the flip side, see con- if you're on the wrong team) -Good benefits -Fun events & Travel opportunities

Cons

-People getting laid off left and right all time. One minute you have a team mate and the next they are just gone. -Management is top heavy and operates like a fraternity -If you're on the wrong team every move is watched -Your job is NEVER safe -Imagine with the acquisition that was just announced by Apollo that the reason for layoffs was to become lean before transition. I would hedge bets that this will also continue to be a numbers game and positions are going to be uncertain -Sales plans are always ambiguous and there were even times where the plan wasn't out until several months into the year. Expected to sell over and above but didn't always have a sales plan to follow. It was always changing.
