Pros

At first, the environment was fantastic. Writers and editors were trusted and given plenty of room to experiment, do great work, and branch out into other creative areas. A truly lively, diverse department filled with hilarious, talented, and brilliant people.

Cons

Absolutely no opportunities for growth, increasingly unreasonable daily quotas, and out-of-touch upper management that put too much pressure on editorial management (and, in turn, created a culture of hostility) and didn't value the department's contributions. Also, low pay in proportion to the expectation.
