Pros
Great benefits -- Generous vacation, sick, and personal time off. Summer hours. Life, medical, dental, vision. 401k. Merit and non-merit based bonuses.
Cons
Beer at the summer picnic is domestic, flat, and warm. Your starting salary is basically where you will stay. Upper management caps DEPARTMENT salary increases at 3% -- so if your neighbor gets a 5% raise, then you're only getting 1%. Hard to get anything better unless you get promoted; which is not really that hard to do, but as others have said, only if your boss is willing to fight for you. Open office concept means you will NOT have a private office, walls, or a door -- even as a senior editor. Oh, and one of the senior managers made egregious sexual advances toward me. Not indicative of all bosses, most were cool, but... Watch your back, girls!
