      Pros

      I am an aspiring journalist. To be an employee and have my name associated with The Washington Post, one of the most prestigious publications in the country, if not the world, at the beginning of my career is such a blessing.

      Cons

      It's a business; and business can be tough and at times messy. You will have to know (or quickly learn) how to properly advocate for yourself because very few will do it for you.

      Thanks for taking the time to write a review. We agree with you- The Washington Post has a strong name. It's exciting to work for a legacy brand who is also innovating in the industry! Thanks for the feedback about advocating for yourself. Hopefully your manager advocates for you as well. We take management seriously and even launched The Leadership Project to equip managers on critical skills, including advocating for their teams. If this isn't happening, feel free to confidentially email us at life@washpost.com. Thanks again for taking the time to write a review. Glad you're part of The Washington Post community!
