Pros

Everyone you meet thinks it is awesome that you work there and that you are incredibly lucky. This will maybe make it easier to find another job.

Cons

It is not as awesome as everyone else thinks. It is no different than any other mid-size to large newspaper.

Great learning experience

Pros

Really smart people. Interesting work. New building, modern setting. New ideas bouncing around all the time.

Cons

There's a lot of pressure to work a lot, it ends up like a competition to see who can stay the latest or get more done (even in off hours). Promotion makes sense in some cases, but in other cases it seems like luck or favoritism.
