Pros

It is hard for me not to write an entire book on how much I love this company and the people within it. The culture of Best Version Media is by far the best I have ever experienced, and I have been fortunate enough to work with some incredible companies. The CEO, Dave Durand, is inspiring and humble and encouraging. My division and regional management team, Kevin and Jeremy, are supportive, informative,and terrific motivators. If looking for training, support, motivation, encouragement or a reality check, it's just a phone call away. The wisdom and expertise of my peers and leaders is shared openly and consistently. My favorite thing about working with Best Version Media is the training is aimed at helping you realize the best version of yourself in every way. I am passionate about the product we produce and love that this company is designed to help everyone from employees to clients to readers win! This is an exciting and rewarding adventure, I can not thank all who make this happen enough!

Cons

It takes perseverance to build your magazine. The negative is the gap in income from hire date to print. However, follow the metrics, believe in yourself, your product, and your community, and you will reap the fruits of your labor.

Working for BVM is online and allows me to work on my own time and schedule.

Cons

There is no office to go to for in-person community, but there is always lots of support.

Pros

Independent...kinda. You're not really as independent as they say. They harass you if you don't go at a certain pace.

Cons

Let's be honest: You're SCAMMING local business owners. No intelligent or experienced business owner will use these products. They're outdated with predatory contracts. Some of the publishers even told me how they lie by omission to reel them in.
