Pros

Great reporters, great listeners. As an editor, you'll work with some of the smartest newsroom staff in the business, tireless reporters, lovely freelancers, eager cubs. The work is meaningful and the audience is the best in the news business.

Cons

Terrible newsroom management. Incomprehensible how they are still in their jobs, especially after so much talent has left the newsroom. There is some house cleaning going on, but not enough. Also needs to happen in Programming - esp at the top.

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.

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"
