Pros

It was a job nothing more.

Cons

Management is detached and wants full time work for part time hours. This is your typical online media company looking to milk fresh faced noobs for everything they're worth before they realize they're being shafted. Their editors are terrible, and the web stories are mostly single source.

Pros

The hours/pay/benefits are very generous. Management is very forgiving regarding time taken off. It's an incredibly equitable company. Filing the daily reports is straightforward.

Cons

I mean, look at the website and read the articles. Because of the owner's delusions of media grandeur, the company perceives itself as a major media outlet and expects accordingly of its employees but remains ignorant of the reality of modern media, including how things like Facebook work or how a website should look. This means that reporters are forced to cover and write stories that are both poorly edited and unread by any audience. It often feels like a child wearing grown-up clothes. This generally means that employees who work for Courthouse News without outside clips stay with the company for years, perhaps out of loyalty, but surely also out of necessity, as a CNS portfolio is not built to impress.
