Pros

Great place to work overall. I was exposed to some awesome coworkers, a fantastic work atmosphere and a solid work schedule.

Cons

Really, I can't say anything bad about Crain. I was brought on as an intern and within that time, I learned more than my time spent at college.

A family owned company that treats you like family

Pros

Great benefits, profit sharing, very loyal to employees, very few layoffs in an industry that is shedding employees to benefit the bottom line. Takes journalism seriously and does so with integrity and the highest ethical standards. Best company I've ever worked for. The Crain family cares for their employees as much as the company.

Cons

Updating older technology infrastructure. Improving "silos" between publications (very typically for multi-publication media companies)
