Pros

Co-workers all get along and you are able to form quick bonds because of the mutual hate for Key Media's existence. Management is correct when they say they expect a lot from their employees. They expect so much that it is impossible to do a good job. Be prepared for spontaneous money-making ideas that are executed poorly with no business plans.

Cons

It's both laughable and disrespectful that Key Media management has not only created fake positive reviews, but claim that "they expect a lot from their employees because they want quality work." (Notice that the positive reviews and replies were all written on February 19th. Coincidence? I think not...) If you respect yourself, do not work here. No quality work is produced here. Content is based on who spends money and who management is buddies with. Editing consists of doing a Microsoft Word spell check. Errors that happen to be pointed out before production are not corrected. But why wouldn't they correct the errors you ask? That's Key Media's commitment to quality content, baby. Management has set up the sales staff to fail. Their fearless leader guides the team with a blindfold on. I'm not sure if this is because said leader is malicious, simply does not know about marketing or is also overworked. Before you ask, editorial has no leader. That's another issue. People are either randomly fired or quit. Management does a terrible job informing staff of the reasons why people leave. They lie about the people that quit and when someone is fired, they don't tell anyone or make up a lie about it (it's a small office, which also makes this laughable). When someone does leave, their position is not replaced. Merely their duties are disperse among current employees. Management also does a terrible job of telling you what your duties are when they change. You are informed of new ones when you are asked about why you didn't complete a certain task. Your main duties change more than the weather. Sales and editorial are way too integrated. This makes for confusion and errors.

Pros

I joined Key Media in June of 2021 and I've had an amazing working experience so far! As someone with a marketing background I was looking for more creative freedom, and that is exactly what I got! Management is very empowering and helps you reach your goals, but gives you the flexibility and creative freedom to work on projects without being micro-managed. Plenty of opportunities for growth within the company as well. HR was very helpful with on-boarding and connecting me with staff I would be working with on a regular basis. Overall I am extremely happy with Key Media and look forward to growing my career here!

Cons

I do not have any negative feedback to share at this time.
