Great company to work for - Anonymous employee Talcott Employee Review

Well this was a learning experience how to operate a magazine inspite of a few negative employees. We won out an had managemnet clean house of those duds.

Company tried hard to make everything work well the recession was in full bloom. So they cut salaries rather than let people go. The real negative was they kept these people who should have been kicked out sooner. They are gone and everything is AOK.

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.

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.
