Pros

There was a lot of flexibility and some great titles to work with, competitive hourly rates for a freelancer. Working during fashion week/month kept me busy and allowed me to learn how Hearst Digital works.

Cons

Didn't like how the digital photo department ran. Few titles had dedicated photo editors for the site and they were often in separate locations with little or no creative communication.

Pros

Well-organized and good communication. As a contractor, I found Hearst to be a pleasure to work with.

Cons

I don't have any cons to report other than that the accounts payable is out of North Carolina and can take 60 days to receive payment.
