Pros

- Management seems like it is trying to find crafty ways to work with newsrooms, even though the staff is very bare bones

Cons

- Exceptionally bad pay. Reporters in cheaper markets are paid about the same as reporters in pricey markets. - Corporate is really understaffed. They boast new tools to offer newsrooms but don't have the resources to meaningfully collaborate. - Unrealistic copy deadlines. Page designers seem way overworked. - Benefits and vacation policies are not good - Little room for advancement as staffs continue to shrink

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.
