Pros

None I can think of.

Cons

Not a good reputation with freelance workers and writers, particularly those on the creative/consultancy side. Mining for ideas and then ghosting - avoid.

Pros

Tons of opportunities to chase stories and hone reporting skills. Interns are given a lot of responsibility and assumed to have a high competence level. Journalists in DC office are excellent and great mentors.

Cons

Some administrative work, but that's to be expected. Internships are not extended beyond their one semester term

Great team, who are determined to carry out traditional journalism. Great pay, with good benefits.

Cons

The same determination can lead to a toxic culture, no great socially and an expectation to work beyond your hours
