      Good website, but you don't want to know how the sausage is made

      Pros

      The staff that haven't fled are all good people. They'll hire almost anybody and the website is still respected enough to open doors for you when you inevitably leave.

      Cons

      The company is a culture desert that is run by an overbearing husband and wife team. The entire company is less than 10 people and they all communicate to one another through gchat for fear of a snide comment from the owner. Unfortunately for PSFK, culture comes from the top down and the management there makes little to no effort to create a positive work environment. In a nutshell: Low pay Negative work environment Lackluster culture Tired staff Overbearing owners

      This review is from an employee we eventually had to dismiss. My wife and I tried long and hard at creating a positive and constructive working relationship with this employee - but we found ourselves with someone who thought they knew how to run the business better than us while only having a couple of years experience after college. We really tried hard to work with them and give them the benefit of the doubt. We gave 2nd, 3rd and nth chances. But it didn't improve and a decision was made and the dismissal was handled discreetly and professionally.

      At PSFK, I was given the opportunity to manage and challenge myself as an editorial intern.

      Pros

      The editorial staff at PSFK is small, which allows for many opportunities for clips and for original pitches. Editorial interns are treated as members of the staff; this was very valuable for me as I was entering my final semester of journalism school. Going into my experience at PSFK, I knew I didn't want to be coddled as an intern and was ready to be treated as a professional. I got that professional experience from day one, as I was expected to jump in as a regular and efficient contributor to the site.

      Cons

      The time I spent at PSFK was a pivotal period of transition for the staff. When I started, I had three different editors than when I finished as an intern. This transition allowed for an occasional lack of communication among editorial staff members, particularly to me. Whereas I felt like very much a member of the editorial team the majority of the time, there was a large contrast during the beginning of this staff change. I was not aware of many of the staff changes until before they were going to occur. Because my experience of being a respected contributor at PSFK was exceptional to other internships, this lack of communication felt heightened.
