Pros

-Healthy amount of PTO and benefits

Cons

-Quantity over quality mindset in that they don’t care how poor of quality a story is as long as it gets clicks -They’re more gaming the system by worshipping stats and searching for keywords and phrases that will get clicks for stories. Does that sound like journalism? Expect to be asked to write about mind-numbingly pointless topics most of the time -Was told we couldn’t write about climate change (thank the Rupert Murdoch influence for that) -Favoritism for people who work in-office. The managing editor rudely/regularly referred to non-office regulars as “once-a-weekers” — a strange thing to say when the head of audience for “The US Sun” is European and lives on another continent outside of America. -Hard-to-work-with lower management -Little-to-no growth opportunities -Constantly dumping more work on employees to save money instead of hiring more staff or freelancers -High freelancer turnover rate -High-pressure and stressful work environment -Loud office that’s hard to concentrate in

Pros

I wish I could think of any

Cons

One of the worst places I ever worked. Management is terrible some of the worst I’ve ever seen. And salary is lower then they post consistently.
