Pros

Reputable news publication that will hone your journalism skills and help you develop your career

Cons

At a confusing crossroads between doing traditional business news and modernizing for the digital age. Is not consistent in its goals regarding the blend of the two. Editorial staff is spread too thin, leading to regular burnout.
