Pros

Good benefits, lots of time off. Many good coworkers.

Cons

Management constantly expects employees to be able to do more work with fewer people and less support amid constant layoffs. Turf wars and politics end up with employees being thrown under the bus and blamed for things that are actually the result of short-sighted corporate policy decisions. Those who work on the company's core business (and biggest money maker) -- print newspapers -- are undervalued, underappreciated and not supported. They want Jaguar newspapers for Kia prices.

Pros

I learned so much about digital marketing and media while there including about display ads, paid search, paid social, and content marketing. They are a super casual and friendly company, but very hardworking and dedicated to growing.

Cons

The company is remote so it was a bit harder to fully connect with my coworkers and clients. It was a good challenge to think of ways to put myself out there more though.
