Pros

Work/life balance. Not much else.

Cons

There is so much micromanagement. Argus doesn't even trust its editors. For a to me unknown reason business development have their hands in everything and get a lot of credit for a success or a publication. I can't get my head around how this place works. The editors know their stuff and have their network out there, and yet BD get to have their say in what the clients apparently want and need and how it should be done. Often whatever BD think is seen as the right way. It almost seems that as an editor you are under constant surveillance of your own editor, from BD and sales. If things go well, they all take credit. If they don't then it's the editors mistake. Also, the C-suite has serious issues and completely lacks leadership. There are some serious dinosaurs in there who need replacing.
