Good pay, fantastic benefits, but constant tumult

Pros

Good pay and great benefits. You won't see better benefits in journalism. The health insurance is excellent, and you don't pay premiums. (Yeah, you read that right.) There's an on-site doctor, which is great time saver for minor ailments. There are a lot of amazing journalists, though the commitment to journalism has flagged in recent years.

Cons

The biggest problem is the constant restructuring in the newsroom. The commitment to good journalism seems to wax and wane, and there's a lot of people churning out low-value copy. It can be incredibly boring in those roles and they're not good about letting people change roles. The magazines have been gutted, and it's not clear that they'd be willing to stick it to big clients if a good story came along. The guy is a hairdo, and not respected much in the newsroom. It's disheartening that men are often paid more than women. There are some good internal people genuinely concerned about that and trying to improve it, though it's unclear how much pull they have.

Pros

The work was invigorating and challenging. Salary and benefits were excellent. Employees were trusted to work competently and given broad freedom perform at their highest levels.

Cons

Trust of competence was accompanied by very high expectations. There was intense pressure to perform. Evaluations relied too heavily on meeting a set of metrics, such as a minimum numbers of stories that moved a market, and beat competitors in speed.
