Pros

Great product. Super talented writing staff. Very smart folks who work there, you’ll learn alot. You learn to get tough skin.

Cons

Unfriendly culture. You make the wrong person annoyed and you might as well quit. It was the worst time of my life, I had folks in marketing that were so awful- I came home crying. I was essentially buied so badly, I went to therapy. People get fired alot at the whim of upper management. They lose alot of people bc the good ones dont play the game.

Pros

Friendly Employees, straightforward work, good community! I often finished early and had time to work on my own projects. The mentorship is great!

Cons

Pay is low, outdated fact-checking, dying industry. When working events, there is little structure and direction for setting up. Superiors will often "forget" to give you breaks while they network. Given the history of magazine, there is limitations on reporting. Most of what you do is puff pieces. Do not expect to write about anything that isn't important to residents of NW DC.
