I worked at Investors Business Daily full-time

Got to work with really great people
Cons

"Great flexibility, slight disorganization"
I have been working at Investors Business Daily full-time for more than a year
Pros
All around great people to work with, I enjoy my team a lot! We're a smaller team so there are more opportunities to take ownership on projects and stretch your skills.
Cons
We move very fast, sometimes too fast to the point where process gets lost. Also when I started there was no onboarding process, so it took a very long time to get set up and gather my bearings.

Pros
Awesome location! Great pay, a lot of fun company sponsored events and lunches, and great insight and education on the Stock Market.
Cons
Very catty environment in some departments. Sometimes it feels like high school. The managers are micro-managing and don’t take helpful feedback very well. The site itself is so greatly flawed and they have a very “it is what it is” attitude with little resolution. Management is also not very good with training and communication. Senior reps get to basically do whatever they want, with little interference from Management. Newer reps get treated unequal to the Senior reps.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Investors Business Daily full-time for more than 8 years
Pros
Decent-to-good salary and benefits. Some amount of autonomy given to team leads. Always work to keep you busy. Interesting subject matter (stock market data). Relatively trouble-free work with peers.
Cons
My boss was kind of "my way or highway", but has limited technical knowledge. Also was not a "people manager". Some randomness to layoffs, use temp downturns as an excuse to cut experienced, higher-paid, long-term employees.

"A good place to work"

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Investors Business Daily for less than a year
Pros
Some of the nicest people you'll ever meet in the news business work here. You'll learn a ton about the stock market, business trends and economics. By journalism standards, the pay is pretty good. Management treats employees with respect. There are quite a few long-time employees there, which speaks highly of the company's culture.
Cons
After mass layoffs last year (40% of staff got pink slips), the company is operating on bare-bones staff, which is overworked. The benefits aren't good -- stingy with vacation/sick time, no matching 401(k) and high deductibles for health insurance. The paper also is about a decade behind the times in terms of SEO, social media, etc. A California-based newspaper that covers the stock market means very early daily start times. The company is also susceptible to stock market volatility. The presence of so many long-timers at IBD means it's very difficult to move up.

RecommendsNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Investors Business Daily
Pros
The people are easy to get along with and nice for the most part.
Cons
The management is very stuck in their ways and run the place like a post office. They were years behind on jumping on SEO and didn't listen to advice from staff about how to make the website better and drive more traffic. Thus newer websites surpassed them and left them in the dust.
