Pros and Cons

Pros

Internally within the magazines and titles there is no problem. Common consensus is the editorial teams work decently well with each other. Work flexibility is good. Work location is in Orchard Road so it's quite central.

Cons

Sales team used to be good, now they are a mess. If editors start selling for you then we deserve some commission too. MD is painfully biased towards certain titles, don't know why upper management thinks the editors don't talk amongst ourselves. Even editors who are receiving the benefits also feel uncomfortable. Not transparent despite MD's constant "I want to open and transparent" drills. Even the CEO also cannot stop her. MD wants to be seen at events but has no EQ so people from other magazines and publishing houses come back and talk about her inflated ego, which doesn't do much to help the brand.
