      Pros

      The mission and the adrenaline of working in news are great.

      Cons

      But management can play fast and loose with the rules. Make sure you know what you're entitled thanks to the union contract - upgrades for working above your title, overnight pay, meal penalties, parking, etc. Especially if you're temping and struggling to find a way into full-time work - get to know your union rep!

      Pros

      I was fully remote, learned so much from a great group of peers, the union is strong and active, pay was fair

      Cons

      The federal funding saga put a damper on morale, but that was pretty outside of the scope of what my team/manager could control.

      Pros

      tiny desks happen at work

      Cons

      soulless and corporate, management is all-powerful, benefits are slowly disappearing, few career prospects unless you fit a certain "profile"
