Great Place to Work - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Kiplinger

I had the honor to start working at Kiplinger when Austin was still involved. It was a pleasure to know the man. He was an exemplary person in his business and personal life. His son Knight followed in his footsteps. Knight is a man who cares about excellence -- in journalism, in publishing, in life. Working at Kiplinger was like joining a family.

Unfortunately, the company has been sold and is under new management. I can't vouch for what it's like there now.

Kiplinger's is the longest running personal finance periodical in the business and is respected for it. Just having it on my resume will help me in the long run. The business is family-owned and operated and strives to bring that sense of family to the company as a whole with events planned to bring us together and keep us in the loop on the business side of things. There's a lot of opportunity to be involved in the production of our publications at all experience levels--interns are routinely given assignments and work side by side with the magazine staff.

Your work may or may not be noticed at the higher levels and feedback from even immediate supervisors comes infrequently. Running a "tight ship" means fewer people doing more work every day. Health benefits have been cut several times in just a few years. Employees tend to stay for a long time, so younger workers may feel like outsiders.
