      Advice to Management

      More training on the importance of embracing the corporate culture.

      I worked at Time Inc. full-time

      Pros

      There are some really talented, smart, and nice people who work at Time Inc. The editorial standards are high so you come out well trained in due diligence.

      Cons

      The company is crumbling and cutting left and right, doing more with less people. This creates a shark tank type atmosphere where people are cutting each other down to survive. They're also seriously behind in the digital arena which is part of the problem. And the strategy keeps changing but its not fast enough.

      Advice to Management

      Time Inc used to be the greatest place to work with the nicest people. It's time to get back to that and stop letting awful people with no management skills rise to the top.

      Pros

      Still some quality journalism produced.

      Cons

      Too much focus on low-quality journalism. It is expected from the most senior reporters to the newest interns. There's no allocation strategy to get the necessary clicks online from so that veteran reporters can spend more time on quality journalism.

      Advice to Management

      From podcasts to newsletters to short stories to long stories, stick to quality.

    9. "Still trying to figure it out"

      Former Employee - Anonymous Employee

      I worked at Time Inc. full-time

      Pros

      Still some great people left

      Cons

      Like most trying to transition from print to digital, it's tough to replace print dollars with digital dimes

      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.
