Pros

My editor was generally understanding whenever a story didn't come through or come out as I had initially planned.

Cons

Hard hours, you make more enemies than friends in the work that you do and the pay isn't great.

Pros

Nobody kept track of “sales calls” so you can go home and take a nap in the middle of the day

Cons

Corporate would run you over with a bus if it meant they'd make an extra $1k. Fired more than half the staff to cut on expenses and expected the few who stayed to work twice as hard
