Pros
-Opportunity to cover a major industry and get a start in trade publication journalism -Lots of autonomy on what's worth covering -Off during the holidays -Rare that work concerns will invade your personal time
Cons
-The irony of not having health benefits when you cover healthcare -CEO makes uninformed, unilateral decisions on a whim, including hiring and firing people within a matter of weeks, feeling vacant positions unfilled and creating new positions which aren't necessary -Surveillance: Despite CEO working in another state, he would get angry at writers who left their desk five minutes before their shift ended -Don't even think about asking for a pay raise - Content and the sites' reputation suffer because of CEO's decisions These factors mean turnover is high and morale is often low. If you're a hard worker, you can get something of this job, but don't count on it being a long term position and never stop looking for better opportunities.
