Pros

The in-house staff is nice.

Cons

Upper management is a mess. The owner is a dictator who acts like he's open to new ideas but runs you around until you get tired of asking for changes, so everything is always broken systemically. He refuses to play bad cop when necessary because he's lazy and doesn't understand how his company works. As other reviews have mentioned, he's obsessed with the number of magazines growing instead of working on floundering ones. Pay is terrible and work/life balance is shifted horribly into an all work day and night theme. Stay far away.

Pros

Good, small company! Everyone is a joy to work with. Very casual working environment and everyone seems to have the same goal of making the company a better place to work in. Flexible time and very approachable people. Good work/life balance.

Cons

Company feels like it grows too big, too fast. Easy enough to make suggestions to certain processes but challenging to convince of effectiveness because most people seem to have that "we've been doing this for years" attitude.

Pros

Fun working for a local community business. Fairly flexible hours and schedule. The magazines are admired by most people who are familiar with them.

Cons

Out of date practices, no new initiatives, not open to new ideas or feedback. The owners are nice but procrastinate on everything. They over promise and under deliver in all areas. The general policy is whatever benefits the company, never the employees or customers. Extremely low pay. No incentive to work hard here which burns employees out. High turnover rate in all departments.
