Pros

People seem happy here. Flexible with remote work. No micromanaging. Leadership is way better than other media companies. Seems like a secure job as far as media companies go (CEO seems to know what he's doing and lay-offs have not affected us). Things we ask for from management seem to be given to us most times.

Cons

I personally don't have a road map to move up as a writer under my current team. There is no road map for advancement.
