Highly ethical news org; difficult internal atmosphere and conditions
Pros
Prestigious organization; reporters/photographers have highest ethical standards; great H/R people; excellent staff, colleagues, co-workers, who are also decent human beings; most staff have been here a LONG time; not a lot of turnover as in other industries; never boring; pride in news quality, global recognition; some managers and supervisors superb
Cons
Frequent reorgs; looming layoffs, although growing in some departments; work loads enormous for almost all positions; internal bureacracy and communication issues have to be experienced to be believed; pay for some positions far below norm; benefits for non-guild poor, expensive; depending on location and managers, work atmosphere and environment can be great or horrible; news is usually depressing - hard to be around continually
