Pros

There is absolutely no plus side to working for Lee, especially not in their Nebraska offices. It isn't even worth the media industry experience. Do not apply here.

Cons

High stress. Low pay. Homophobic leadership. (I personally made the regional management aware of homophobic remarks made by the Fremont Tribune interim publisher, and then I quit. After my departure, he left the company for a brief period, then was rehired as the full publisher for TWO of the eastern Nebraska papers.) No job security, positions get eliminated with no notice and no severance. Additional job duties are forced on you with no pay increase. I was hired to do one job, and by the time I quit, five other positions spanning 3 departments had been condensed into my one position. Their "hourly categories" skirt the law on health insurance benefits. The insurance benefits are nearly impossible to afford on the wages they give you.

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.
