Pros

Coworkers are genuinely talented, collaborative, and supportive Opportunity to gain hands-on experience quickly Some special projects (sports, long-form pieces) can be rewarding when they happen Good place to build basic production skills early in your career

Cons

Creativity is becoming increasingly devalued in favor of quick-turn, news-style content Leadership direction changes frequently, creating instability and low morale Promotions and opportunities tend to favor politics over actual talent Lack of long-term vision for day of news High turnover and burnout Feels more like a news factory than a creative power house Limited growth for employees who want to grow in their careers

Pros

You can work with lots of different systems. You can choose to get involved with a lot or a little. They will let you improve most systems.

Cons

Very small pay increases each year. Job responsibilities can get blurred on who is in charge of what. You are in an ever shrinking market.
