      Pros

      A great place to get a by line, get your foot in the door of publishing.

      Cons

      Overworked and underpaid. This a hiding place for people in the industry who have no business holding jobs, editing, selling etc. The publisher might be mentally unhinged. He shows up 2-3 a month, sends berating emails to staff, has no concept of how bad the magazines are. The rent hasn't been paid in months and they are on their 3rd eviction.

      Pros

      As an editor, you get a lot of freedom because the publisher could care less about editorial content. Also, it's a job, and sometimes you just need a job, no matter how crappy.

      Cons

      If you value your sanity, DO NOT work here. The publisher has a penchant for belittling his staff and undervaluing (and underpaying) those who work hard. Additionally, the company is not financially solvent. Somehow it's still in business, but the staff has been evicted from a former office and plenty of bills went unpaid. The magazines do not get sent out on time because the company can't afford timely distribution. And don't get me started on circulation -- it's a mess.
