Pros

Some very nice people, editors work with you to get better at writing & are approachable

Cons

Everyone at screen Rant is great, but the real problem is the parent company's management. They don't know what they're doing and take it out by overworking everyone at screen rant with constantly changing rules and formatting. Valnet doesn't care about good quality work. they just want to squeeze as much as they can out of everyone for as little $$ as possible. google thewrap and valnet and you'll see what I mean

Pros

Genuinely some of the smartest content people I've ever worked with. Super dedicated editors who make you want to do a better job because they care so much. Robust training and feedback system. Fun content.

Cons

Not necessarily a bad thing but some editors gave TOO much feedback. A bit more flexibility to use our best judgment for formatting/amount of links/images used would have been good.

Pros

Perhaps the only thing worthwhile about this site is the everyday writers who show up to publish content. Their passion is infectious, and their pitches are often excellent if only leadership was willing to listen.

Cons

The only advice I can give to anyone looking to work here is to run. SR is not only inhumane at the most unforgivable level to its workers, but it is comically inept. Leadership doesn't know what to do other than cannibalize itself, and directions are somehow both entirely obscured while being mandated. Truly, there are few newsrooms more dysfunctional than SR or any operated by its parent company. Avoid this publishing purgatory at all costs unless you are getting paid good money.
