      I have been working at Time Inc. full-time (More than 10 years)

      Pros

      Good compensation and benefits; opportunities for growth

      Cons

      Company has been cutting jobs and reorganizing for several years now so there is now a sense of instability. Stock price is low and management seems unclear as to new direction.

      Advice to Management

      Go back to core businesses; don't be seduced by ancillary revenue streams that are not related to Time Inc.'s core brand promise.
