Unethical leadership and unreasonable workloads - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Chicago Agent

Talented editorial team. Nice people.

There are no cons to doing contractor work for this company.

I worked at Chicago Agent Magazine as an Editorial Intern from late August to December 2015. It was an amazing experience. I really learned a lot and gained valuable skills from my time there. Environment is extremely casual, which was a huge bonus because I got to do what I love (writing and editing) wearing jeans and t-shirts. The staff is small, but incredibly hard working, creative and efficient. They also treated interns like actual employees, and gave us a lot of responsibility. Like someone else previously mentioned, the internship is very intensive and hands on. Tasks included: writing stories for the website and print magazine, copy editing for the print magazine, posting on social media, creating photo galleries and other miscellaneous assignments. Overall, the internship is a great launching pad for a career in publishing and you'll have many opportunities to grow as a writer.

I kind of wish that they had more room for advancement. As of now, they only offer freelance opportunities but I guess it's better than nothing.
