Pros

Fascinating work, great exposure, OK pay and good benefits. A good place to work for a short period of time before moving on.

Cons

High-level managers change every few years, but they all seem to have one thing in common: they impose a top-down management style where fear -- starting at the top and rolling downhill -- is the primary motivator and can create a sweatshop-like environment. The result: corners get cut in news gathering.
