- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Great work environment everyone was like a big family and helped one another out
Cons
Low pay laid off
- Former Employee, more than 10 years★★★★★
Pros
Time Inc. was a terrific company to work for before the Meredith Corp. takeover. It's a shame what happened to the company and all of its magazine titles after the takeover.
Cons
It allowed the takeover to happen; it would have been better if Time Inc. had remained an independent, standalone magazine company.
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Collaborative team and supportive managers invested in employees' growth
Cons
Sometimes long work hours and rushed lunch breaks
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
good people better place best location sexy work friendly environment
Cons
bad people worse place worst location not good work unfriendly environment
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Benefits are awesome for individuals
Cons
Breakroom perks are horrible and they need to revamp
- Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
None that I can think of now, unfortunately!
Cons
Destroyed by foolish business executives starting in the late 1990’s and the early ’00’s. The AOL merger was the beginning of the end — Time, Inc.’s stock price dropped by 10x and never really recovered. Hence it’s sale piecemeal in recent years to once-lesser companies.
- Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Great work culture, great people, lasting legacy.
Cons
Constant state of re-orgs, difficulty in career growth.
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Benefits, PTO and good for the resume.
Cons
No particular cons on the overarching company.
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Beautiful office with great views. Good work life balance.
Cons
Moved entire department after acquisition.
- Former Employee, more than 10 years★★★★★
Pros
Large company with room for advancement
Cons
Layoffs were always made to save money
