A place for people who love art but hate the art world - Staff Writer Hyperallergic Employee Review

Working hand-in-hand with the publisher, Veken Gueyikian, was a wonderful experience where I learned a ton about how an online media company generates ad revenue. Veken was patient with me for the many months it took to master online ad placement and scheduling. He has created a unique workflow using various productivity suites that I have since integrated into my own endeavors. His communication skills were topnotch and is a fantastic teacher. They also tapped me for my writing skills helping to craft a few grant applications with various nonprofits. Overall, this media company is a testament to entrepreneurism and small enough to be able to learn every nook-and-cranny how to survive in an intensely competitive market. Oh -- the health care is super comprehensive and generous!

In the end, I did miss working in a bigger office with more fellow workers to learn from, but that was my choice to dive into a smaller operation to be able to maximize the learning curve.

admirable mission and values, recognizable independent brand in media and arts, creative freedom, diverse staff

disorganized senior leadership, high workload, frequent inappropriate conduct and unprofessional behavior, minimal growth opportunities, poor working environment, high turnover
