Pros
Forbes name (but fading because of management).
Cons
1) Remittances (payment) are now below minimum wage...it's a joke and Forbes does nothing about it except offer stale advice (2) Forbes should have a tiered system that pays more to the best (contract) writers...some are definitely better than others, (3) Forbes "Bertie" publishing system is not reliable, (4) editors are often not helpful and Forbes still publishes a lot of clickbait / retreads / junk, despite official policy against it and Forbes doesn't get rid of writers who engage in it, (5) ads are intrusive and make articles unreadable sometimes. I could say a lot more but it's not worth my time….
