Pros
This company definitely invests in its employees and genuinely cares about the people who work there.
Cons
There's little interaction between the brands that's spurred by the company, it all happens at the volition of the brands themselves.
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Home to some great brands. Company still believes in print media and is making acquisitions. Was originally very excited to join the company as part of an acquisition (did not last long tho).
Cons
Poor management structure with no insight into a larger corporate strategy or goals. Little thought to growing an employee’s career. Minimally staffed team means long hours. Corp is very top down but, at least in nyc office, does not engage with the brands. They’re always pushing for more cuts but CEO still travels by private jet. Pay and benefits are below market, especially when compared to digital-first companies. HR actively pushes managers to have their direct reports give positive reviews on Glassdoor…red flag.

Poor Work/Life Balance

A lot of autonomy in my work, learned new skills, good people, good opportunities

Teams were stretched very thin, not enough staff for the amount of work which resulted in poor work life balance. Requested additional headcount multiple times but there was never a plan of action

Endless opportunities and entrepreneur culture
Aug 11, 2022 - Anonymous EmployeeRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
If you're a go-getter and want to learn and grow, the team is highly collaborative. Leadership encourages all types of feedback, very open-minded about new ideas. Great benefits - 401k match, PTO, generous holidays. Excited for the company-paid benefits. Strong emphasis on diversity initiatives, and fun social events.
Cons
There are growing pains on certain teams that are stretched thin. More resources is helpful to alleviate the stress, or to focus on the important priorities.
- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Good company, good people. Very diverse.

Good Place to Work
Jun 1, 2022 - Anonymous Employee in Los Angeles, CARecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Communication across departments and brands is smooth, and people have a good time working together, in my experience. I feel that everyone tries to be respectful of each other's time. Going into the office is welcoming and productive.
Cons
Some late nights and weekend work comes up. I'd prefer to have a more even work/life balance.
