Pros

None. Maybe the name.

Cons

They are advertising full time jobs on Journalismjobs.com and then offering applicants temporary contracts with the promise of a chance at a full-time job after working for $13 an hour for four months. This is labor theft and is devaluing journalism. They only care about clicks. It sounds like the company might be going out of business.

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.
