Pros

There are absolutely no upsides to working here

Cons

Evil horrible people run this company. People will scream at you over the most minor of mistakes. You’ll get called names if you go to the bathroom too much. Even the people you think are ok at first will turn on you. Literally not a single decent human being works at a high level at this company. They get off on abusing entry level employees. Literally I think the editors and managers get together and laugh about how many people they made cry that day. This company should be investigated for harassment and abuse and no one should ever voluntarily work there. If you’re not about to be literally homeless, do not take a job here.

Pros

Competitive pay, but it comes at a price.

Cons

Horrible working conditions. It is a hostile work environment. The top editors are heartless (as you can probably gather from their tabloid takedowns). It is a minimum of 12hour workdays for editors, 11 for reporters. You get no lunch break - you eat at your desk. You are expected to push out an outrageous amount of content per hour. It's the sweatshop of newsrooms. You feel terribly guilty about your work because all it is is takedowns of (mostly) innocent people for the sake of tabloid clicks. It is about as slimy of a place as it can possibly be. As for leadership - well, the fish rots from the head, as they say. Oh, and all the Brits vape in the office so it smells like terrible strawberry fumes mixed with red bull burbs - it's FOUL.
