Pros

Good content and member forums

Cons

You can see from the 80's era website and emails, that this company isn't going anywhere. Slow to mobile, slow to be more visual, and definitely not a consumer-first approach. The design of all consumer touchpoints is to optimize what advertisers want and need. As a result, this company is losing the key Millennial target: lower traffic means decrease in revenue. It doesn't take a genius to know that the company needs to appeal to it's core target. Right now, it just doesn't. As a parent, it was the least parent-friendly environment I ever experienced. Probably due to my manager.

Pros

If you're a contractor, there is a somewhat good work/life balance--come in at 9:00, do you work, and leave at 5:00.

Cons

Coming here would be a horizontal move, not a step up. Honestly, this is the most mediocre company of my career. If you're a contractor, no opportunity for advancement, lots of bureaucracy and you definitely feel like you're not a part of the company. No clear process on getting converted to full-time status; it's confusing who they convert e.g. you could work your butt off and remain a contractor, while contractors who don't seem to work very hard are converted.
