Vantaggi
A great goal with great reporters and editors who are unfortunately undervalued.
Svantaggi
The expectation is to work seven days a week at all hours of the day without a raise for years especially if you're not in HQ. This might be defendable if these hours were dedicated to actual journalism instead of clickbait. The main feedback you receive is reserved for not meeting PV goals. More upsetting is the childish antics of those at the highest level of management who engage in high school-esque politics and at times down-right inappropriate behavior. Promotions and layoffs are determined by favoritism which creates a culture of paranoia and backstabbing. Furthermore those with no journalism background should not be in charge of making decisions in that purview. The constant interference and shifting directives from the CEO stifles work and progress. Continued layoffs and egregious work/life balance placed on writers is what makes the company "profitable" if that's even true. Lip service of how "wonderful" company culture is does not make up for the way management treats its employees, which appears to be the strategy of the CEO and other management.
