Job standards and requirements constantly shifted Nearly impossible to get in touch with leadership to talk about raises, bonuses, promotions, etc. Promoting here actually felt impossible The company prioritizes quantity of work over quality Writers are saddled with too much responsibility given the salary

Pros

Very cool office space if you work in NYC.

Cons

Run, don't walk. Pay is bad compared to other newsrooms with the same exposure. The organization is crazy messy. Restructuring people and changing job titles laterally without consulting the affected employees. Leadership will leave your message on read. Laying people off randomly, regardless of their talent and contribution to the team, purely because of a spontaneous, busy decision (you will see them hiring for the same position again in like a month). No space for advancement -- you are stuck with the same job title if your immediate supervisor doesn't move up/leave. To sum up, you deserve better if you are concerned and reading this.
