Pros

Very professional and knowledgeable coworkers who maintain a very rigorous editorial standard. Staff is friendly and helpful. A sense of community within the department is encouraged. Management is unusually understanding with regard to personal issues. A certain level of professionalism is expected, but expectations are at the same time realistic.

Cons

Sometimes the work can seem tedious, especially during some parts of the editorial cycle. Sometimes communication between management and staff could be clearer.

Pros

When a project goes according to plan you can work with some great people and make decent money.

Cons

Bad behavior is tolerated when you have a weak team member. They are allowed to remain on payroll, even if they do not effectively contribute. The burden is often placed on the team members willing to pick up the slack. Promotions are not given to the most qualified. They are randomly assigned. There are some horrible scoring directors as a result.
