Pros

You're working with some really smart people. Everyone's at the top of their game.

Cons

Impersonal office culture. If you're looking to have your work be family, this is not the place.

Thanks for taking the time to write a review. We're glad you found Posties smart and "at the top of their game." It's the people who make The Post so great! We're sorry to hear you found the office culture to be impersonal. This is the first we've heard this and take it very serious. We'd love to hear more details so we can address it. Feel free to confidentially email us at life@washpost.com. Thanks again for taking the time to write a review!

Pros

Network expansion, decent benefits as an entry level job, most people are friendly and helpful, frankly it just looks great on a resume to say you worked here at all. If you actually have some journalistic talent, editors are usually happy to accept pitches for stories or videos.

Cons

Little room to move up, copy aides are treated like children, poor pay, irregular schedules, pressured to work shifts that we weren’t hired for, copy aide manager (who began late summer 2017) is a micromanager who frequently is territorial and paranoid.
