Pros
* Six weeks paid leave (as compensation for shift work) * Christmas hampers
Kontras
* Shift work, which can sometimes involved mixed evening and morning shifts (throws your sleeping seriously out of whack) * Micromanagement/poor management * Often no clear leadership, limited communication and professionalism from senior staff * Limited opportunities for professional development * HR that did not enact visibly disciplinary action against a manager and another employee for whom numerous harassment complaints had been lodged * High staff turnover rate * Nepotism is rampant * You're always expected to put work before your personal life especially with breaking news events * Middling wages * Very little on-the-job training provided, management does not foster a positive learning environment
