Pros
- Gives college grads a chance to get writing posted and opportunities at making podcasts - Takes chances in hiring (i.e. posts on craigslist) - Short work hours - Interesting and fun co-workers generally
Cons
- Boss does whatever he can instill fear and power into young, naive post-grads - Writing/radio/video is kept in a self-contained bubble on the internet, offers little chance to grow - Cash flow is very cloak and dagger; it's never really clear where the money comes from (aside from the odd podcast sponsorship) though speculation says he is just a sad rich guy who needs a retirement project - There are hardly any objective standards to the work. If the boss doesn't like something, then it's wrong and you're a bad person for it. - Copious amounts of snacks and pizza every wednesday act as things you should be "grateful" for to work at a "cool job" when a salary bump and benefits would work just fine.
