Business outlook
Pros
1. You get to work with a dynamic team of writers and reporters as well as celebrities and other big names in various industries. 2. Great resume material. 3. Social media presence amplifies, which is crucial for any editor to make it in the world of media. 4. Some autonomy to follow your own interests, write about them.
Cons
1. Poor management. Employees in charge of guiding you tend to have a paltry sense of leadership, which can be fatal in media and the blame falls on newly-recruited individuals or 'weak links' in the workplace. 2. Bad sense of coordination between editors. 3. Vague guidelines. 4. Intense, long hours with pay that does not compensate on a fair level.
