Vantaggi

It's a great place to get your foot in all sorts of doors of the media and entertainment worlds. You'll go to a lot of swanky parties and, despite management being obtuse, there are plenty of areas where a smart person can make a great impact on the business's bottom line.

Svantaggi

The pay isn't great, the management and execution of company's expenses policy is probably illegal (I sued and won). Succeeding at The Hollywood Reporter (THR) is like living under a constant Sword of Damocles. Because most, if not all, workers at THR secretly harbor fantasies of great big Hollywood success, it can be a ruthless place. Double standards based on skin color, gender and sexuality are everywhere. Because of this human resources is often MIA when you need them — HR also likes to allow managers to construct job roles that seem structured to allow psychotic executives to cause chaos and undermine productivity. So if you get hired here and start having trouble at work, lawyer up fast.

Vantaggi

I was an editorial intern for THR. Interns are tasked with transcribing interviews (did a lot of this), research for writers doing a feature story, attaining documents from various outside locations, and drafting spread sheets. I really enjoyed getting a full 360 perspective of how a magazine publication operated, sitting in on their editorial meetings was interesting and beneficial in giving me an idea of just how fast paced of a work climate it was. I grew as a writer and as a young professional as I was treated like one by the staff.

Svantaggi

Man, what a depressing work place. While I think it's great that everyone is so focused on their own work, it's not conducive to a collaborative or consequently an easy going vibe throughout the office. I get it, the newsroom doesn't warrant mindless chatter when things are going on all the time and events need to be covered but the cliques were evident, the office politics were perturbing, and the superficiality of the staff was enough to make me lose interest in the company fast. While it may be the right fit for some, I came out of it knowing it wasn't for me.
