Pros

Not many pros unless you're fresh out of Columbia U, have some formula for living in this city on that income, and need some clips that no one will read.

Cons

Very many. Why work for a cult? I can see why editors stay -- the comapnmy pays them a adequate salary. Writers are viewed as expendable while execs at the comapny get six-figure salaries to try to boost traffic an ad revenue by other means besides, you know, original journalism.

Pros

Since I've been here for a while, my POV may be much different than someone who just started. I find there's a lot of freedom for people who have been here a while, especially on my vertical - I know other verticals don't have it as easy even if they've been working here a while. But its not that hard to learn the loopholes of the place and make them work to your benefit. It's pretty easy to work from home and a lot of people abuse it with no consequences.

Cons

If you're not white or male, over 30 or don't have an Ivy League pedigree you're going to get treated like crap. When I started this place was somewhat diverse, but now the majority of the editors are old white men and there are barely even any reporters of color or culture. There is no growth opportunities - in fact, most of the young editors have been demoted and pushed out.
