Pros

Co-workers are the only reason I stayed as long as I did.

Cons

Newspapers did not buy into digital early enough and the crash of the economy compounded with the slow digital growth has put Lee in financial straights. If you are ok with not getting a raise while the CEO gets a multi-million dollar raise, this is the place for you. Absolutely NO understanding of employee retention, and they don't seem to care to learn.

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.
