Pros

They are so dysfunctional they probably won't realize you aren't there....? And you would never want to be.

Cons

"Where to begin?", she said, settling into her chair and hovering her fingers over the keys..... Every person in a leadership role at this place is completely and utterly delusional. It's pretty terrifying. I still have nightmares about working here. There is really no way to describe it unless you have lived through it...which I'm pretty sure is the same sentiment Vietnam vets use when asked about their experiences. Oh, also, it's run by a KOREAN RELIGIOUS CULT leader who, get this, has stated on record that he is the SECOND COMING of CHRIST. So, ya know, there's that.

Pros

Since I've been here for a while, my POV may be much different than someone who just started. I find there's a lot of freedom for people who have been here a while, especially on my vertical - I know other verticals don't have it as easy even if they've been working here a while. But its not that hard to learn the loopholes of the place and make them work to your benefit. It's pretty easy to work from home and a lot of people abuse it with no consequences.

Cons

If you're not white or male, over 30 or don't have an Ivy League pedigree you're going to get treated like crap. When I started this place was somewhat diverse, but now the majority of the editors are old white men and there are barely even any reporters of color or culture. There is no growth opportunities - in fact, most of the young editors have been demoted and pushed out.
