Pros

When they do what they do best there's nobody better. Benefits are excellent. There are still people there who care about the journalism.

Cons

Too much airtime is devoted to junk and silliness. Promotions are doled out based on managers' favoritism and have nothing to do with job performance.

Pros

Great 401k matching. Tons of paid time off. Intelligent co-workers Free parking.

Cons

Total lack of support for employees. Continual punitive actions for not providing 110% accuracy. If you make a mistake caused by another, you get nailed. Atmosphere of fear is the norm. Insane scheduling. A toxic, corporate work environment.
