Pros

If you're writing "Comicbook" articles, the content is fun, the stories are interesting, and it's easy to find content. Everyone in the office is fun, laid back, and helpful. Pay is comparable to other writing jobs.

Cons

The managing editor expects one person to do the same amount of work as three people. So, for example, if you work the night shift, the managing editor expects that you post the same amount of articles and keep the same amount of active readers on the site as the day shift - which usually consists of more employees.

Pros

- Get to write about the things you love - Free/early access to things you care about, such as movies, games, comics, and TV shows. - Lots of opportunity for interviewing talent like directors, actors, etc.

Cons

- Pay is pretty disgraceful - They repeatedly force staff to use their crappy forum to drive engagement from other users. It’s 2026, no one is using a brand new forum. All the threads were just staff talking through each other to hit a quota of forum engagement. - Directives are constantly changing, often seemingly based on nothing. Leadership seems to be lost in terms of what to do. When soemthing works, they run it into the ground. - Leadership favors their friends from their previous work places, even when those friends aren’t performing very well. - You can go above and beyond and will still get abruptly laid off via a cold, impersonal email before being locked out of all of your company accounts. - Fired/demoted all of the editors, meaning tons of work was published with typos, inaccurate info, and more. Standards have slipped dramatically. - Managers/leadership weren’t on the same page, they’d tell you different things.
