Some people like it. I didn't.

Pros

Competitive salary and benefits. It's a growing and stable business, with ample budgets for travel and professional development. They really invest in their people. Interesting subject matter. It has a global presence and is very focused on international dimensions of news. Good job for someone looking to transition from a job in the energy sector into journalism. If you find energy markets interesting, it's a great fit.

Cons

Not a lot of room for advancement, mostly because there is little turnover in management positions. Many editors with often conflicting views. As a news outlet, no one outside of the energy community has ever heard of it. The editorial bent tends to favor energy companies and discount or ignore other points of view. If you have a background in journalism, it is probably not for you.

Pros

Good place to learn about the industry and build a network of outside contacts. Chances to do some creative analysis. Good health care benefits.

Cons

No bonus or incentive to do extra work. No pension plan. The work of doing a newsletter with good weekly content turned into a repetitive grind. You have to build relationships with external people that frequently do not want to talk to you. In some products, Argus network needs to be built up. The workload was high because in addition to collecting, analyzing and writing news, we were tasked with various annual analysis books and special studies. It is difficult to take real vacation because there is no backup. When people quit, it can take a long time to fill that position, so some people were doing 1.5 jobs. Lots of price reporting agency competitors and potential contacts and customers may get bombarded with other price reporting agencies calling them. So not all contacts want to talk.
