Pros
Great snacks when you're in the office, plus the option to telecommute once you're fully trained. The team is amazing, young and very bright. It's also a solid job in an uncertain industry. The company's growing pretty steadily and I was never concerned about layoffs.
Cons
ABIS squeezes everything it can out of employees and leaves them dry. New employees work a split shift during the morning & at night that is designed to last a few months, but understaffing meant that the split shift lasted a year or year and a half for some. The 6:30 or earlier start time can be tough, especially since most people commute into the office from Chicago. Little to no upward mobility once you're a senior editor. The company was understaffed almost every year I was there, and consistently had trouble hiring enough people to keep up with high turnover. A lot of people were very unhappy and overworked. In a more journalistic sense there's no original reporting or designing, since they use a premade newsletter template. You only rehash existing news in a rather mindless way, never interact with readers/clients, and don't do any interviewing. It's pretty different if you're a traditional journalist.
