Pros

CMG has excellent benefits as part of the Cox family of companies, and the backing of the corporate behemoth suggests that the company can weather whatever befalls the media industries as a whole and will tend to support its employees through whatever transitions may come.

Cons

Contrary to what another reviewer stated as "bloat" in the technology division, CMG's technology department suffers from myopic leadership, where the primary driver for technology solutions is "whatever the media division wants" at any given time. The "mediocre digital products" from the technology department are a direct result of these variate desires designed by committee. Software development processes are being driven from a product management organization that's far more concerned with the status quo than producing working software. While the corporation as a whole attempts to promote diversity in the workplace, technology's upper management has eliminated many of the diverse leaders in the organization, and the roster of leadership now reads like your average Silicon Valley board.
