      Learned a lot about what not to do

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There were some good people there, and I learned a lot from them, before they were ultimately they were driven out. Also, there are so many product lines and so much to do that, being on the business side, you could really get your hands dirty and learn how to run a product first-hand. As long as you didn't care about the bigger picture of the company, it was a great place to learn.

      Cons

      Between power struggles on the business side and a lack of caring about the business on the editorial side, this is not a place that will have success.

      Great Experience, Tough Job

      Reporter

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Greatest bootcamp in journalism, period. Learn how to be a great reporter, to be faster and more accurate than just about anyone else in the game. And learn in trial by fire.

      Cons

      Bootcamp never ends, and this can feel like a never-ending slog of thankless grunt work. Not a lot of room for growth, union is abysmally backward, salary is almost impossible to live off of in major cities.

      staff outside journalism ranks not valued, disposable

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Name recognition, prestige; it really is the best news organization in the world. Most ethical and talented journalists in the world. Really great, caring, co-workers, colleagues, some wonderful managers, directors. Friends for life. Very customer-oriented.

      Cons

      Internal operations is a nightmare. Benefits are worse each year and more expensive. Even with token salary increases, take-home is consistently less each year. No career advancement, no recognition or compensation for increased responsibilities or making significant contributions to company. Upper management credibility is low; message inconsistent and at odds with actions. Work-life balance is sketchy. No OT, and difficult to take comp time. Continual layoffs and reorgs. Very high stress, fearful environment. Pay range is insulting for non-journalist ranks. Promises seldom kept to staff.
