Pros

No pros unfortunately do better.

Cons

The company is going down the drain. They did a huge company wide termination during the pandemic in 2021. They closed news stations in 2023 and gave no notice to employees who were in contracts and then fired their only BUSINESS MANAGERS. If that doesn’t scream sketchy i don’t know what will.
