Pros

Working on your own schedule, I guess

Cons

Unfathomable unprofessionalism from every single person higher up. Rude on every level. Ridiculous expectations for a borderline illegal wage. Monotonous work set to over-specific, exhausting rules. Beyond that, any attempt or desire to elevate their content beyond the juvenile clickbait they churn out will be met with derision or, in my case, sudden dismissal with absolutely no explanation, reasoning or even a response. Finally, they will absolutely try to scam you. By the time I stopped working with them they had underpaid me by $833. They categorically refused to look into it for more than a month before threatening with legal action made them admit what they had done and pay me what they'd tried to keep from me.

Pros

Genuinely some of the smartest content people I've ever worked with. Super dedicated editors who make you want to do a better job because they care so much. Robust training and feedback system. Fun content.

Cons

Not necessarily a bad thing but some editors gave TOO much feedback. A bit more flexibility to use our best judgment for formatting/amount of links/images used would have been good.

Pros

Perhaps the only thing worthwhile about this site is the everyday writers who show up to publish content. Their passion is infectious, and their pitches are often excellent if only leadership was willing to listen.

Cons

The only advice I can give to anyone looking to work here is to run. SR is not only inhumane at the most unforgivable level to its workers, but it is comically inept. Leadership doesn't know what to do other than cannibalize itself, and directions are somehow both entirely obscured while being mandated. Truly, there are few newsrooms more dysfunctional than SR or any operated by its parent company. Avoid this publishing purgatory at all costs unless you are getting paid good money.
