Pros

Gaining experience Deadline pressure sharpens writing skills Typically guaranteed 40 hours a week

Cons

If they have a reason to let you go to decrease costs, they will Some, not all, MNG papers have bad leadership or leaders who are more of the 'boss' type Very low pay. Even if you're one of the best workers, raises are like a miracle After I left, my life became so much better! I may not have had a full-time job anymore, but I am so much happier.
