Pros

Only pros I can think of were the occasional interesting events and freebies

Cons

No journalism ethics whatsoever when it comes to creating articles. No freedom of opinions because the management fans flames of politics and competitions between supposed teammates. Instead of friendly competition, teammates are often pitted against each other to breed unhealthy and two-faced friendships. Very unwelcoming community that makes you feel like an outsider until you conform to certain cultures or behaviors. Felt like I was in high school again with all the cliques and gangs. Management practices victim culture where any mistakes made by them are instead turned around and pinned on employees instead. Overall, the environment was so toxic that I left before my 3-month probation period ended. Would not recommend anyone joining.
