Pros

The company provides a fascinating window into the energy markets. The work is never boring - we assess the price of various energy commodities around the world and analyze the political and business developments that influence those prices. The company is global and can give you the opportunity to work in many different places. You are given plenty of freedom to develop different areas of the business - just don't expect management to hire anyone else or help you manage your work load. The company has decent benefits including a 50 percent matching 401K and time off for religious holidays, and pays competitively compared to other journalism jobs.

Cons

The workload is high and keeps growing. Certain teams seem to live at their desks. The company has trouble hiring and retaining good people - workers smart enough to do what Argus requires have many other options. The company's emphasis on making money for the family and (select few) senior employees with ownership stakes may also influence the decision to have a barebones workforce. But whatever the reason, the short staffing levels put the editorial workforce under constant stress and contribute to burnout.
