      Pros

      Stable, well-compensated job for journalists interested in commodities. Can gain in-depth experience with energy and commodity markets.

      Cons

      The day-to-day work can be monotonous, and the company is extremely bureaucratic.

      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.

      A mismanaged cesspool of compulsive gossips, rumormongers and pseudo journalists

      Pros

      Discovered excellent information sources. Built up close relationships with a few good editors and reporters (although nearly all of them worked outside Argus). Discovered cool stuff like Bloomberg and The Economist. A few decent writers worked there briefly before moving on and simply throwing in the towel.

      Cons

      The CEO is an obsessive micromanager who encourages (and seems to relish) vicious infighting among staff. Some managers freely breached the wall that is suppossed to seperate editorial judgement and commerce, writing content and marketing to customers. It often seemed like a PR firm masquerading as a news organization ( and enjoying the protection of editorial privilege). The Company is determined to become a leading price reporting agency and cultivating its business, often at the expense of responsible independent journalism and ethical standards.
