Pros

Coworkers on the local level are dedicated and hardworking.

Cons

Lee never figured out how to handle the transition to the digital age. It's been playing catchup ever since the dawn of the internet. Corporate management definitely gives the impression that they don't give a damn about their employees, and their actions (outsourcing, layoffs, no pay raises for years at a time, insurance hikes that amount to de facto pay cuts) shows it. The only time corporate visited the satellite papers was to decide who they were going to outsource. Morale was horrible when I left. The worst thing that happened to the newspaper I worked at was when Lee bought it.

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.
