Sales side at AmEx Publishing - Account Manager American Express Publishing Employee Review

Best Place, Friendly Co-workers, Good Earnings, Fast-Paced growth

Nothing to say much. it was all good.

Not as glamorous as Hearst or Conde, but also not as nasty as some of the bigger media companies -- there's a small-company feel at the publishing group. People are genuinely nice and want to put out the best products. Because of their management relationship with Time Inc, there's an opportunity to work on some large-scale projects.

The offices are extremely cramped and shoddy. While the company touts work/life balance, getting a flexible schedule or telecommuting can be held against you come promotion time. However, I think management has addressed this issue already -- one of the benefits of this company is that it takes employee feedback very seriously. Another issue can be the process of getting things done under the AmEx umbrella -- projects and processes can plod along very slowly.
