Pros

Leadership is spending millions on renovating the building - maybe not a good use of membership fees, but it will be a great facility. If you are in the right department, you're golden. Decent pay and benefits.

Cons

1. Editorial leadership is nasty, out-of-touch and not forthcoming. 2. Content providers and lower-rung editors constantly ridiculed and abused by upper management. 3. Ideas must conform to assorted agendas. 4. Content producers are not valued. 5. Managers have no idea how to motivate or reward staff. 6. There's a Devil Wore Prada mentality among key senior editors. 7. Too many meetings, which seem to serve the purpose of justifying many underwhelming jobs.

Is it really worth the money?

Pros

Good pay and benefits.

Cons

Worked for many years in various roles, and can say hands down that the organization has grown increasingly dysfunctional with current management (in my department) displaying blatant acts of moral corruption - milking benefits with excessive travel and expensing while simultaneously exercising favoritism and suppressing creativity and upward mobility. Overall, most people working in the media department are miserable and too scared to say anything about it because they know they will be let go, or punished in some legitimatized way.
