Vantaggi
Women who apply for this job, ask for north of $180,000 and don't budge. The good news is that you are reading this review so you will know what salary to ask for if you are a woman. I told a male colleague who produces less than half the work I produce that as a Senior Medical Editor, I make too little money. He something to the effect of yeah right, he says then that he can't say what his salary is but that they are cheap and they are probably only paying me about $182,000. Reader, they were paying me $88,500. for a Senior. Also asked another man -- he was assigned to half the accounts I had. I would work until midnight while he went home at 5 when his half of the work was done. He was also making $88,500. for a senior.
Svantaggi
They hire a lot of women because they can pay them less. Women, ladies, femmes, do't be fooled. They told me for 9 months that I'd get a base adjustment and it never arrived. So I got the woman's rate. They routinely point to the women in positions of power at the agency--right before they insert a less talented, less hard working man right above her at a better title and exponentially higher salary.
