Pros

Good pay and benefits, strong union, friendly and collegial staffers

Cons

Management is a disaster. Truly so many toxic managers who are unfit to manage but have been promoted up and up and up.

Pros

The management was supportive and responsive. I never had any issues.

Pros

Good focus on long-form writing and journalism; lots of lovely people worked here and there was a nice community outside of the office; felt like a legit civic institution that people in L.A. care about.

Cons

Uneven management with unclear long-term priorities and conflicting top-down mandates. Not very willing to collaborate with the union.
