Pros

-Lots of freedom in terms of content produced -One day you could be writing about sports and the next you could be covering breaking news, so every day is different and exciting -Great internship program for people that want to get a feel for what writing is like as a career -Lots of collective brainstorming to come up with ideas on how to help the company grow

Cons

-Like with every media company, sometimes you are asked to cover stories you may not be interested in, but that certainly comes with the territory.

Pros

None. I signed on to be a freelance blogger and worked with someone remotely. He is only online until 5pm each day, and then dismissed me for taking too long to write my first post when he was only available certain hours of the day and said I could step out as I pleased and work anytime. He didn't understand the learning curve with formatting on a first post. They expect you to research, pitch content and then learn to use Wordpress in 3 hours on your first post if you DON'T have experience. He was rude and dismissive when I asked questions, said the hours were flexible and then accused me of taking too long to write my first post and fired me. He was the verbally abusive on Slack when I expressed my side of the story, insinuated I don't know Wordpress (I've used it for several years) because I asked a few questions and told me to "learn to follow instructions." I hope people see this and do not waste their time for $10 like I did. Worst experience with a "publication" that I have ever had and I've been freelance writing for years. I also couldn't find them online to collect my minuscule payment for all of the hassle, so I was ripped off. I'd give -0 stars if I could.

Cons

Rude, dismissive, unnecessarily cutthroat for what you're being paid, lousy pay, unclear expectations. I really have nothing more to say other than that.
