Pros

Mother Jones is a team of people who care a lot about what they do. They’re a quirky bunch so it’s never too dull a moment. There is a Union for employees.

Cons

The editorial/business divide is huge. If you’re on the business team you’re often treated as a second class citizen. Add to this it’s an organization helmed by women who tend to promote men over women and silo women into administrative roles. The workplace is nowhere near as diverse as it should be and the management is reticent to open up about this and truly invest in making an intersectionally inclusive workplace.

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.
