Pros

Friendly people, very welcoming company culture. Quality local journalism and Pulitzer prize winning newsroom. Genuinely committed to diversity & inclusion initiatives. Flexibility with regard to schedule and remote work.

Cons

None come to mind. Company is doing a good job navigating the shift to a more digital audience.

Pros

Zero. Zilch. None. Nothing. Blank.

Cons

Constant layoffs and a sloppy buy out which the employees were uninformed of ruined morale. Office was a nightmare prior to that. Controller is absolutely nuts and will email you 40 times between 2am and 9am. Terrible pay. Terrible (and expensive) benefits. 5 paid holidays. No raises in over 5 years not even a COL increase.
