Business outlook

Pros

Network expansion, decent benefits as an entry level job, most people are friendly and helpful, frankly it just looks great on a resume to say you worked here at all. If you actually have some journalistic talent, editors are usually happy to accept pitches for stories or videos.

Cons

Little room to move up, copy aides are treated like children, poor pay, irregular schedules, pressured to work shifts that we weren’t hired for, copy aide manager (who began late summer 2017) is a micromanager who frequently is territorial and paranoid.
