Pros

You’re working for a well known organization with a great reputation and colleagues who are competent in their beats.

Cons

Management does not communicate among each other or to reporters - unless you are a favorite. Lacking in diversity or sensitivity to issues surrounding diversity. Don’t work here if you have medical issues, are a woman, or a person of color. The bean counters have taken over and bottom line, appearances and hoarding openings, means more than quality of life, kindness or compassion. Leadership is akin to the film “Mean Girls” - and they will say one thing to your face and another behind your back. Unless you look and act like them. They like to fool themselves that dozens of reporters have left over the last year for more money - sure that’s partly true, but it’s more because they didn’t listen to or care about reporters needs even when told time and time again. There’s no flexibility here - your hopes, wishes, needs, goals, concerns, worries ... don’t really matter. Moving around this big company is a nonstarter. You’ll have to leave or extort them for it.
