Pros
OC Weekly is a casual and intimate work environment that gives a surprising amount of creative liberty to its editorial staff. If you like to have fun and be involved with community happenings, it can be a great place to get started and launch your editorial career.
Cons
Be prepared to have your work affected by popular (often poor) taste. OC Weekly publishes a free paper that obtains its revenue through ad sales. Because of this, its editorial content is often tailored to drive pick up rates. Be prepared to read and write a lot about drugs, sex, food, and music.
