Constructive Feedback From Hearst Employees
- What needs to change to make the company culture better?Better training. Better retention policy. New leadership.
- Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?Salaries are based upon a 40 hour work week, however understaffing make an 8 hour day impossible. Hearst's compensation is well below Charlotte area averages. Insurance premiums are extremely high and 401k match amounts are unimpressive.
- What does the leadership team need to get better at?Leadership is extremely disconnected from Charlotte staff. Most decisions are made by executives that are unfamiliar with the service center's needs and structure. Internal leadership is poorly trained and unable to provide appreciation gestures of monetary value due to budget constraints.

Hearst Mission, Vision & Values
Hearst Mission & Values
To inform, entertain and inspire. Hearst is continuing a legacy of innovation—and a love of what’s next.
Hearst Vision Statement
Our founder, William Randolph Hearst, charged us to be alarmingly enterprising and startlingly original by looking forward and leading our industries to new frontiers.
Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility at Hearst
Dedicated to responsible sourcing, Hearst requires that all paper mills the company purchases from operate under a third-party certified chain of custody program. This ensures that 100 percent of the fiber entering the mill is traced to its origin and complies with controlled logging standards, i.e., the fiber is legally harvested and does not come from endangered forests.
Hearst has partnered with the Sustainable Forestry Initiative on multiple projects to help protect and sustainably utilize forests, including working to make third-party forest certification more efficient and accessible. Criteria for certification includes the use of sustainable harvesting techniques, as well as protection of wildlife habitat, soil and water. These projects have led to the certification of over 10 million acres of land.
In an effort to promote the conservation of paper, 95 percent of Hearst publications that do not reach the reader—print overruns, damaged or unsold newsstand copies—are recycled.
Additionally, Hearst UK has pledged to replace all plastic magazine bags with sustainably-sourced paper wraps on its subscriber copies by January 2020.
