      Pros

      The Washington Post continues to expand as a company, and with that you get the chance to grow in your career. There are many opportunities and no day looks the same.

      Cons

      Hours are inconsistent and you are at the mercy of the news cycle.

      Pros

      Here teamwork means not only collegiality, transparency and collaboration but also well-being and supportive. We are all collectively working with a sense of profound purpose and our Leadership team sets a terrific tone in empowering us, no matter what position you are, be it a journalist, editor, advertising or facilities in being a part to that purpose and cause which is truth while being compassionate. Democracy Dies in Darkness is so true and I am glad to be a part of it.

      Cons

      Having experienced and understanding Leadership means you are able to recognize and resolve any issues; and no company that I have worked at can successfully say that can do this, the way we have here.
