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.

There's no better newspaper to work at in these times.

Pros

Great paper. Not afraid to spend money to cover a story. Great journalists. Very creative people, for the most part. A generally convivial atmosphere and spirit of teamwork. Everyone generally takes great pride in tthe paper.

Cons

A few bad apples, but that's true anywhere. An increasingly heavy emphasis on the digital side, which I realize is necessary to keep the paper economically viable but which also puts much more pressure on staff editors and, I'm sure, reporters, with no increase in salary and, in fact, a decrease these last few years in the number of employees. Often, not as much time for copy editors to work on a story as was once the case, partly because of so many extra tasks related to the Web site.
