Pros

Casual atmosphere, lots of natural lighting generated from the numerous, large windows lining the walls.

Cons

Demonstrated nepotism despite, for instance, an employee exhibiting similar occupational flaws to another employee and without consideration for uneven playing field (i.e. one writer's workload or "beat" is more disadvantaged than another). Management will throw reporters under the bus to save their own skin. Lack of constructive communication. Thanklessness from management. No guidance. Ample overtime committed and workload increase without salary to substantiate (i.e. management will assign more work than a position contractually demands, without negotiation). This results in often-seen, severely diminished work/life balance.
