Pros

The union has done a good job of ensuring good benefits for all at the Post. The benefits, including a pension plan, are the #1 reason to work here. Since the newspaper business is changing so quickly, it's best to be interested in that. I'd make that the #2 reason to work here: love of journalism. And, #3: since journalism/the media business is different every day, most jobs here get that variety, too. Nothing is constant.

Cons

Again, nothing is constant - or reliable. We are always on deadline, and working late happens for almost everyone at some point. We are a large company - Washington Post Media - within a larger corporation - The Washington Post company - and information doesn't always move fast enough within these walls. Recently there were many cutbacks, which produced a drain on morale.

Pros

Hard working colleagues, at times.

Cons

I found a lot of people I worked with were just racking up sinecures they felt they had earned. Lots of laziness.
