Pros

You can really do whatever you want as long as you meet their very low bar for quality. They aren't skilled enough or brave enough to confront you effectively, which is entertaining at times, You can also protect your job easily while being incredibly lazy by being "loyal" to their conservative worldview. You'll get repeatedly promoted, but there are no pay increases besides an annual sub 1% pittance.

Cons

Pay is insulting. You work with the bottom of the barrel in national talent, which is embarrassing at times. You'll have to pretend to be a Conservative/MAGA while there and a lot of their "writing preferences" are based on traditions they were handed but don't understand. You'll only write about how icky transgender people are or how evil the "left" is, and SBG will do its best to get you to mislead readers about those topics with an emphasis on weasel-wording your work to make it lawsuit-proof. I don't think they believe anyone reads past their headlines, which is one of the things we agree on, if so. Also, good luck having your work respected by anyone in the industry after having your name in SBG station bylines, As for the day-to-day, they fail at basic information comprehension very frequently and you'll need to make sure to fight against their commands and CYA. They'll throw you under the bus at first sign of trouble. This is by far the most taxing part of any job there, but I navigated it easily enough for about 3 years by putting on the desired act until I found a better-paying job in media, which hopefully you'll understand took FOREVER. You should fear being trapped here.

Flexibility with my schedule to be able to take and pick up my kids from school. Great team to work with at my location. Ability to train and do jobs outside of my regular task to get hands on experience in other areas.

Department was restructured and my position was relocated.

Pros

Job can be fun depending on if you're a natural performer. You gather valuable experience interviewing others.

Cons

Terrible pay and culture. They will likely not pay you commission for anything you sell so do not take that on. Focus on your primary job.
