Business outlook
Pros
worldwide reach, chance to cover a variety of subjects. The pay is pretty good compared to other news organizations that you will work for. Your job is probably more secure at Bloomberg, because they are more immune to changes in the economy than other news organizaiton because they cater more to the financial community
Cons
stifles creativity, work is repetitive. there is little coaching and professional development from higher ups. you can get easily stuck in a box covering the same thing over and over again, and find yourself writing the same stories five years later. When i left to go to a newspaper I had more experiences in a month than I did reporting for a year and a half in this office
