Pros

- Good benefits - Good compensation - Nice location

Cons

- If your beliefs, including personal, are anywhere remotely left of center right, hide them. Keep them to yourself, be sure they are not visible in any way to the public. Your criminal and financial background check will include an aggressive search for any minor issue they may take with even your seemingly personal and private social media. This is a center right media group. They expect their employees to fall in that category, even on their personal time.
