      Pros

      Best thing about working for the New York Times is being able to put it on your resume. The training I received was excellent.

      Cons

      The hardest part about working for the New York Times was the fact that opportunities to move up and to increase my salary seemed limited at best.

      a very political place

      Pros

      you have the pride of working at the most prestigious newspaper in the world, and can have some interaction with the journalists and get the inside scoop on some of their personalities and histories. It's interesting work if you're a news junkie.

      Cons

      They're known as a place that pays below market, and they have to considering how badly the whole newspaper industry is doing. I worked in the online group and they certainly pay less than online only entities. It's a very, very political place. It's all about kissing up to management. Very little management expertise in the senior managers. Generally, they get management responsibility after doing a good job in a corporate role that has no management responsibility like strategic planning.
