Pros
Telling great and interesting stories while working alongside a caring and smart group of colleagues is the best thing about it. No worries about losing your soul to corporate bloodsuckers. Pretty stable financially, especially in the media world. The place has a great new HQ building.
Cons
All those progressive management ideas you hear on the radio? Nearly none of them are embraced. No child care. Telework is a struggle. The Peter Priinciple is alive and thriving here. Maybe it's because people are too nice to fire anyone. Maybe it's because of the nonprofit angle. People tend not to leave, and that makes it hard to advance. Editorial is unionized, so they take a cut and probably help some folks stay who should go.
