Pros

Smart, passionate colleagues, great benefits, good pay (especially in the nonprofit and/or media space), and real opportunities for growth if you work smart and work hard. Plus you're working for an organization doing good in the world.

Cons

Lack of resources on the business/tech side of things is understandable since editorial is the focus of the organization but it does mean staff are overtaxed, less can be accomplished, and work suffers due to burnout related turnover and lack of institutional knowledge.

Pros

The mission of MoJo is a noble and necessary one: fearless investigative reporting to promote a more just and democratic world. And the organization practices what it preaches. Everyone is very conscious of supporting and promoting work/life balance and in treating one another with honor and respect. This is a nonprofit organization and a union shop. Although salaries tend to be a little lower than the for-profit corporate world, the soft benefits are many and varied. Most importantly, the dog-eat-dog competitiveness and outright greed and selfishness one finds in many for-profit companies don't exist here. People are recognized for their performance and everyone takes pride in their work

Cons

The coffee machine is a bit antiquated.
