Pros

Until the jobs get replaced by hubs and algorithms, news is 24/7 so you'll always get your 40+ hours. Benefits are okay, nothing exceptional, but Medical/Dental/Vision/401k is a package that kept me here long beyond my expectations.

Cons

Absolutely terrible pay, constant turnaround due to bad pay and bad hours depending on your department, and the depression of the newscycle on top of it all. Vacation time is awful, 9 years and I barely scrape 3 weeks together. Pay? Way below what the industry says you should make. Not even 20$ an hour after 9 years, no room for advancement, and that's with a Union. Prepare to slave away while incompetent management whines at you when you need something. Political money keeps this company alive where skill would fail. Imagine every terrible office job you've ever worked, then multiply it by 10.

Pros

Good benefits overall. Strong vacation and time off policies. 401k and compensation were competitive. Some teams were collaborative and supportive depending on who you worked with.

Cons

Hard to take ownership of work due to lack of trust. Ideas were often dismissed or overridden, which made it difficult to contribute effectively. As a woman, I was frequently interrupted or talked over in meetings. At times, I had to frame ideas indirectly just to get alignment, which isn’t a productive way to work. Decision-making could feel inconsistent and not always based on input from the team.
