Pros

- benefits are pretty good even for part time workers - will compensate you accordingly depending on your skill-set - employees friendly

Cons

- Little to no promotional opportunities, bonuses are pretty much non-existent (I've worked here a year with none) - Very budget oriented (like any company) but it's felt on a daily basis and seems to effect every employee - This largely depends on where you work, but in some areas where the newspapers (Lee owns) are more remote, it seems that Lee relies on "Good 'ole boys" as publishers who understand little about the digital world or how to make it work in a print industry - Seems to be a disconnect between market and newspaper itself, much of community is dissatisfied (from what I have gathered), but newspaper I work for does not do anything to receive feedback to improve it's performance, they care more about advertising dollars than user experience, when it's UE that drives $$$

Pros

None that I know of.

Cons

Poor benefits, 70-hour work weeks, constant fear of staff reductions, community calls daily complaining about the lack of news. I could go on forever.
