Pros

Nice building and great cafeteria. Company is a name that is recognized on a resume.

Cons

Very little opportunity for growth. Jobs are siloed with little exposure to learn new things. No chance to affect change. Disorganized. Horrible upper management. Poor pay and crappy benefits for a company of it’s size.

Pros

Getting to work with respected journalists.

Cons

Negative/stressful work environment at satellite offices, mostly due to understaffing and unrealistic expectations. Some corporate executives are abusive towards their DRs and are constantly cutting budgets.
