Payment is weak, and, at least in my experiences, took forever ( about five months, with multiple e-mails in-between). Maybe that has improved, and if it has, this is not the worst place for a young writer looking to get some clips.

 

Just to address the payment issue: I recently began as the Managing Editor for NYC and the person who was responsible for invoicing payments is no longer here and was apparently not very timely. One of my additional responsibilities is to do the invoices for NYC writers and photogs. Having experienced payment issues myself in my career I will hound anyone and everyone relentlessly to make payments promptly after the story is published.
