Pros

Great colleagues (for the most part), challenging work, very flexible job, occasional parties, fantastic HR person, office in a nice location.

Cons

Hectic pace; schedule can be erratic, and you often had to work holidays, evenings and weekends; no pay raises or bonuses in the last few years; required to pay dues to a union that was weak and unhelpful; there was favoritism to some reporters, who only had to work on 1 or 2 "projects" per year, never had to work weekends or holidays, and were paid better than the rest of the staff.
