Pros

Work from home, and that's about it

Cons

Too many to list...awful management, zero communication, constant pressure to produce produce produce (hyperlocal news simply doesn't work that way), poor work life balance (I often worked 16 hour days/7day weeks--with no overtime paid-- and it was impossible to take vacation days or sick time), quantity matters more than quality (any decent journalist will not be able to stomach this concept), management employed harassing tactics to get your UV's up without giving you advice or support on how to do this, you had to find freelancers who would essentially work for free, high turnover, very immature and backstabbing colleagues ...the list goes on and on.
