ONLY Work Here If You Are Desperate - Be Prepared For Overwhelming Work/Attitudes and An Underwhelming Salary - Anonymous employee Hollywood Reporter Employee Review

Learned a lot over the few years I worked there.

No room for promotion or growth unfortunately.

I was an editorial intern for THR. Interns are tasked with transcribing interviews (did a lot of this), research for writers doing a feature story, attaining documents from various outside locations, and drafting spread sheets. I really enjoyed getting a full 360 perspective of how a magazine publication operated, sitting in on their editorial meetings was interesting and beneficial in giving me an idea of just how fast paced of a work climate it was. I grew as a writer and as a young professional as I was treated like one by the staff.

Man, what a depressing work place. While I think it's great that everyone is so focused on their own work, it's not conducive to a collaborative or consequently an easy going vibe throughout the office. I get it, the newsroom doesn't warrant mindless chatter when things are going on all the time and events need to be covered but the cliques were evident, the office politics were perturbing, and the superficiality of the staff was enough to make me lose interest in the company fast. While it may be the right fit for some, I came out of it knowing it wasn't for me.
