Pluspunten

The people who have worked there over three years are fantastic- very helpful, thoughtful and witty. The grounds, before they laided off the entire grounds crew were beautiful. Now they are "maintained" and other vestiges of the good times remain, like the walking path and the amazing art collection. There is a lot of prestige in working there. It can be a boot camp for the rest of the publishing industry.

Minpunten

Fear, dread and ill will toward New York management. Before the top brass, who were excellent people, were laid off and New York cut 30% of the staff during the "6% of Time, Inc. will be laid off" in 2008 and again 20% more cut in 2009. It was great, it was happy, productive, and making tons of money. However, now the level of morale is insanely low. All publications are created on a formula, with limited creativity and cliche "southern-isms".

Pluspunten

2008 was a bad year for Southern Progress with magazines shuttered, over 200 staff laid off and the evisceration of the entire upper management. All this was implemented by Time Inc. of which SP is a subsidiary. Yet, even as the company continues to undergo these massive internal changes, Southern Progress remains a good place to work. The city is lovely and livable, the climate of the company is warm and friendly, and the pay and benefits are very good.

Minpunten

It can be a bit of a black hole in the publishing world where jobs tend to stay in the NY family so to speak.
