Downers
Salary, entry level jobs in the Publishing industry pay
low...but the benefits (for this company specifically) are
uncomparable, really, really great benefits.
|
Lifestyle
Work hours are normally 40 hours per week, with 10 days vacation. People stay
late but only if they want to. Only senior level executives get to travel to
trade shows and fashion shows a lot. We get invited to parties, wine tastings,
fashion events, store openings...Dress code is very trendy but also professional.
Anything goes but people here definitely dress to impress, the latest fashion..
Diversity: its mostly women, and mostly caucasion American, with some French and
Italian employees.

Advice to Jobseekers
Competition for this industry is fierce. Do something unique to
make yourself stand out from the crowd. The more prestigious the
magazine, the more prestigious your experience should be.
Register with agencies, I applied here directly and quickly got
a rejection letter, they hire from agencies a lot. Also, interns
and temps often get hired on.
