Pros

Good health benefits. Good co-workers at the grunt level. Salary is OK. They can be flexible with work arrangements, though you'll never hear the end of it.

Cons

Overediting tends to zombify reporters and move everyone down to lowest common denominator. Lack of creativity. Bureaucracy. Culture of fear. More emphasis paid to moving a bond yield 1/1000th of a basis point than diving into issues that affect people.

Pros

I can't think of any at this time!

Cons

Once you're part of the Sales Department, they make it impossible to move to any other department in the company. They're rather lose an employee all together rather than allow them to transfer internally.
