Pros

Editors are receptive to writers and encourage original ideas and chasing topics you're passionate about. Fantastic place for new writers and reporters to get their feet wet.

Cons

Quotas and traffic goals precede all else. Management disorganized, confusing, and dishonest at times. Unfair compensation compared to how much work staff writers are expected to put in.

Pros

It's a chill environment for cutting your teeth in entertainment. The staff is super sweet and helpful.

Cons

There is zero opportunity to rise through the ranks. There's no compensation for putting in extra work beyond the hours you're allotted. There's little incentive to do more than the bare minimum when you aren't allowed to clock in extra hours for some extra pay. Working here long term only works if you're willing to freelance on the side. That's great when opportunities are flourishing, but it's rough when side gigs dry up.
