Pros

Macfadden provides decent benefits. The work is often interesting with lots of opportunities to travel under the USAID/OFDA contract and work on a variety of humanitarian responses. The staff at USAID/OFDA are very engaging and friendly people (as an information officer, I have more working contact with USAID/OFDA staff than with staff from Macfadden).

Cons

Disorganized and often unresponsive HR. For information specialist position: Long hours under the USAID/OFDA contract. Not much forewarning for deployments overseas.

Pros

Close to a metro station.

Cons

One of the most unethical companies I've ever worked for. Do yourself a favor and do not consider interviewing or taking a job here. I am on my way out the door.
