Pros

Salary is above average for journalists

Cons

Absolutely zero scope for career progression. Company does little to develop employees' skills or to reward good work or recognise talent and potential. At the same time, sub-standard members of staff are allowed to get away with turning out poor content without facing any consequences. If you take any pride in your work or your journalism career, this quickly becomes a very demoralising place to work.

Pros

Great teammates with high standards and low egos. Compensation isn’t competitive, so top performers often move on. The medical insurance, though, is excellent.

Cons

Management: Severely disconnected. A strict “3 days in office” rule is tracked via weekly attendance reports, yet the Head of North America works fully remote after moving away from Houston. Compensation: Senior-level pay is well below the Houston market. Repeated promises to make salaries competitive have been half-measures (think bottom 10% range). Hours: Expect meetings to be scheduled irrespective of your actual working hours.
