Pros

Good people, who are fun and thoughtful to work with. Working for a newspaper company is unique because you are like no other industry in the world. Centralized location for Orange County residents. Nice facilities.

Cons

Constant downsizing. Newpapers are not in a healthy place, thus money is VERY tight, and there are little to no perks to working. Wage and hiring freezes are a constant, and are now expected. Cuts to everything is also constant and expected.

Pros

The majority of the people in the newsroom are good friends who hang out together a lot outside of work. If you want to gain or improve your computer/job skills, there is always someone willing to teach you.

Cons

The company cut salaries by 5% to dig themselves out of bankruptcy but did not discontinue management bonuses. Now (in 2011), 2% has been reinstated. But, the rest is considered a raise that must be approved by management. They currently are not giving raises. The assignment editor is a nag who makes the newsroom a stressful place to be. The staff once met after work to discuss ways to get back to enjoying the work environment. it boiled down to ways to handle and work around her.
