    Dat's entertainment. Dat's entertainment. Dahlings…read more Chicago Social, n/k/a CS, is a glitzy, glossy, free magazine which is distributed to condo buildings and news boxes in certain areas downtown and on the north side. Since CS is free, anyone and everyone from the unwashed masses to the landed gentry who bathe in C-Notes can pick up a copy and get up to speed on local dining, parties, shopping, clothing, interior design and who's who in the local social scene (read: benefit attendees). Since CS is glossy, you can sit in your Gold Coast condo and spill your champagne on it or in your Rogers Park hovel and spill Diet RC on it and still be no worse for the wear, as the spillage will run right off, and you can continue perusing high culture. Dahling, isn't that fah-bulous? Ooh-kay, gurl? Basically, what CS is is a bunch of advertising and rah-rah PR that caters to those with substantial disposable income, those who clamor to one day have substantial disposable income and the pretentious who fall somewhere in the middle. Holla. It's about restaurants, shopping, clothing, jewelry, real estate, interior design and parties. It's to be taken more as entertainment than as informational, and it's always to be taken with a grain of salt. No publication with opinions written in the pretentious first person plural (e.g., "We felt the decor, ambiance and sushi were simply fabulous") is to be taken seriously on general principle. Probably the best part of CS is the section with the party photos. It's always interesting to see where the who's who and celebs are partying, with whom and whether or not they're hot. One must know every month where Bill Kurtis and Donna LaPietra are partying, or one may not be able to go out on the social scene for fear of embarrassment when discourse convenes over cocktails. Whether you're dirt poor or filthy rich, we recommend picking up a copy of CS monthly. It's an amazing way to plug into local society and get up to speed on everything that's fabulous locally. We'll see you on Michigan Avenue, dah-lings. Five stars.

    Chicago Social is yet another reason why I love this city. For a girl who loves magazines and has…read moretoo many subscriptions, being able to pick up one this amazing for free seems wrong to me. The glossy covers and high end advertisements are only the beginning. The magazine has a true and honest connection to the city often featuring our own on the cover and in the pages. Located in boxes all around the city, the closest to me is at N Cannon and Fullerton, located next to a bus stop. Hey even the high society of Chicago Social appreciates public transportation.

    I actually LIKE this paper and I will continue to buy it on Sundays, but at my local 7-11 rather…read morethan home delivery. As other Yelpers have reported, it is SO hard to cancel a subscription once they have your credit card! There is no way to cancel on-line or during the weekend. You have to call M-F during business hours, which I did, from work. 5 minutes I spent telling the lady "I need to cancel my subscription. No more. End this subscription. Do not charge my credit card." She kept stating the same script, "You are are valued subscriber..." and trying to convince me to keep subscribing. Offering deals. Something about a charity. I forget since I just kept saying, "I'm at work, I don't have time!! Please just tell me that you will cancel my subscription and won't charge my credit card!!" Finally she agreed and confirmed she would end my subscription. That said, I do appreciate the Tribune's in-depth coverage, local articles, photography, spirts, crossword puzzle, and Sunday coupons. So I would have given the Trib 4 stars if they weren't so aggressive with the subscription bit.

    This newspaper completely sucks! We had problems with stupid price hikes, and bad delivery. Also,…read morethe customer service really sucks! The people they use from overseas are awful. I've seen prior reviews and I agree completely on how horrible they are. We cancelled our subscription and they send us a bill for surcharges and we canceled before the end of the billing cycle ! Don't get a subscription with this paper!

    Where do we start.....this company should have been shut down the moment scabbies were spreading…read morethrough the office and employees were not notified to take precaution. After the word was spreading around the office the "owners" then told employees the names of people who had the scabbies which was darn right unprofessional. This company micromanages their employees. They pretty much treat you as if you are 10 years old. You're much better not interviewing with this company unless you don't want to use your college degree to it's full potential and you want to be treated like dirt. The owners could care less about you. If you file sexual harassment they take it as a joke and do nothing about it. They pretend to investigate but even when proof of sexual harassment has been given to them they don't make a conscious effort to do the right thing. The position is cold calling companies asking them to interview for a magazine that none of them have ever heard of. You then Tell them you will publish an article about their company. Here's the catch....you ask them for a list of their third party companies which the sales team then calls all of these companies to buy ads. If none of the third party companies purchase an advertisent then the article does not get published. Which you have then wasted the CEOs time as well as yours. In the world we live in today there's this thing called technology and all these companies are starting the get the catch and rather save their relationships than deal with a "publication" that's trying to nickle and dime their suppliers, vendors, Etc. And if an ad gets sold and you happen to leave the company good luck getting paid your commission. You'll never see that!!!! They say they will pay you when they get paid from the advertisers but let's be real you can ask any former employee....you DONT get paid all the money youve earned once you leave. Also all the hard work you did prior to leaving gets handed to the "owners" favorite employee (svp marketing) who is then given all of your commission. She is given all of the companies you had been in contact with, she is given all of your lists that you have turned in, she then takes all of your emails and sends them to herself so she can use all your work and make it her own. AGAIN.....another case showing there's no way you get paid when they give all your work to someone else so there's no proof it's actually yours because she then calls the companies saying she is taking over because you're on "vacation" or "out of the office for the next couple of weeks" which is a lie because that's all this company does is lie lie lie. If this company were to be investigated by the department of labor they would've been shut down years ago.
