Pros

Great if you are an observant Jew as they follow the Jewish calendar VERY strictly, and are of course respectful of it. You're paid weekly and you can count on it - most employees are hourly employees and you can make a nice entry level salary. Soul numbing and dull, and great as an entry level job or something to do to make some money before grad school.

Cons

HR are HORRIBLE - vicious and manipulative. Work can be mind numbing. Very little room for advancement.

Pros

Very good work/life balance and separation. You get half days on Fridays, and weekend work is never expected of you for religious reasons. Pay itself is reasonable, but is hourly for most employees. You also get a lot of time off for Jewish holidays, some of which are paid.

Cons

B&H is generally respectful of all backgrounds, but their own religious ties hold the company back, and create weird restrictions on the type of content they're willing to publish. Articles, photos, and videos that have to do with weddings or fashion need to be free of cleavage, legs, or even shoulders. They don't care if men are in the photos though, and this just makes it difficult to cover these very common topics in photography. There isn't a lot of room for advancement, and the various managers and executives all seem to be competing for equal attention, so nothing ever changes. While the pay is pretty good, most of the employees are technically on an hourly schedule. You can get paid for overtime at least. The holiday time off is very nice, but the trade off is that you are given all your sick and paid time off in one lump sum, every six months. This sounds like a good thing, but if you want to get paid during some of those holidays (that you HAVE TO take off), you have to use your own PTO.
