Pros
-Out of every 20 people you meet, 3 are bearable -Free water (if that even counts?) -Probably will appreciate your past jobs and your time at home -Might learn to be addicted to some sort of vice
Cons
-First off, they'll title you as an "Assistant Managing Editor" when that's not the case at all. You're encouraged to forego all forms of editing, whether it be basic line-editing or even touching up poorly implemented jpeg and gif files -They'll say that this is a haven for future journalists, writers, and other creative positions but it's genuinely just a circle-jerk of people rushing to recruit lied-to college students to write freely for them (they promise monetary incentives that 80-90% of their writers never see) -You work more than 50+ on weekdays AND weekends for a company that's bleeding money (they're literally going through a major lay-off period because hierarchy couldn't manage investments accurately) -College students that YOUR paycheck relies on are incredibly unreliable as they're too busy being college students as opposed to your writing slaves -The "Managing Editors" (most glorified of the cold-callers) tend to come up with no real solutions and instead just take in others' venting rather than being authentic leaders -The higher-ups managed to racially profile and confuse the few minorities within the office (literally less than 15 minorities in a company of 100+) -You'll constantly be blowing up the DM's of teenagers nationwide on Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr and every other website in an attempt to dupe them into working for you, not with you -Company has unsustainable model solely based on page views and clicks; thinks they can compete with BuzzFeed but has no chance at all, metrics say they fold in 2018 -No relevant content on website, all of it is based around listicles of college frats and sororities and open letters to dogs and other inanimate objects; this company spits in the face of civic journalism and reporting -If you've come to work here to further your career, you're stepping into a maze of regression, aim for anything else that pays
