Pros

- Great colleagues to work with (non-management) - Great customers/clients to build relationships - Interesting premise for publications, if a bit outdated - Decent compensation

Cons

- Little to no training whatsoever - Unrealistic expectations of performance - Incredibly negative atmosphere fostered by management (especially in sales side) - Very poor understanding of how companies and jobs are compensated in America - Hostile, uncaring attitude of mid- to upper-management towards employees - Borderline harassment in some cases is rampant. One of the female employees I worked with was ridiculed in front of the entire office by a new addition to the management team from overseas, and it was unacceptable - Lack of understanding of how businesses buy advertising. Expectations are made to keep sales reps from earning as high as similar positions - Extreme level of micro-management on all projects

Pros

I joined Key Media in June of 2021 and I've had an amazing working experience so far! As someone with a marketing background I was looking for more creative freedom, and that is exactly what I got! Management is very empowering and helps you reach your goals, but gives you the flexibility and creative freedom to work on projects without being micro-managed. Plenty of opportunities for growth within the company as well. HR was very helpful with on-boarding and connecting me with staff I would be working with on a regular basis. Overall I am extremely happy with Key Media and look forward to growing my career here!

Cons

I do not have any negative feedback to share at this time.
