      Pros

      The Post is an exciting place to work. There is a sense of duty, legacy and family in the newsroom. The company supports its people and tries to grow talent internally. The energy at The Post can't be matched, the work and your colleagues are always pushing you to achieve more, think bigger, be better.

      Cons

      The Post still has work to do around equality and diversity, including pay equity and promotion of JOC and women. Our compensation and benefits could be better considering the value of our work and company.
