Pros

The pay is very good and the company invested in good equipment for my unit. Some coworkers were good.

Cons

Absolutely no clue in how to navigate the media landscape in 2016 and beyond. Worked for an impossible manager who repeatedly failed to deliver on promises. Conservative basis leads to frequent journalistic malpractice.
