Pros

It's a fun place to work at if you love news. Without the stress of a newsroom, you get to enjoy the best of journalism has to offer. I enjoyed my co-workers and the company's constant drive to innovate, to come up with something new.

Cons

I was a contractor for over 2 years. There were opportunities for them to hire me, but the company seems to be going through more shedding than adding new employees.
