Pros

It's the least toxic newsroom I've ever worked in (which isn't saying much) BUT my colleagues genuinely care about me and vice versa. Leadership is pretty transparent and regularly communicates with staff, even when it's hard. I've been given room to grow and learn, and I've seen similar opportunities arise for others.

Cons

There have been some growing pains as the company leaves its start-up era.
