Pros

For a job straight out of college with a journalism degree, this was a great opportunity. Compensation was good, starting over $40,000.00. Food/cafeteria is excellent, and a major plus. Campus is beautiful.

Cons

Boring work. Technical writing about medical software is not a career in writing, it's a career in software development. Madison, Wisconsin is cold for out-of-staters and it's a small city.
