Pros

Salary and benefits aren't terrible. Co-workers are a smart, fun, hard-working group. Computers and software are up to date. Gallows humor helps numb the pain.

Cons

Designers are micromanaged and treated like children. We were forced to record what we were working on at all times via a computer program called Harvest. A "points system" was also instituted recently. Every page a designer completed was worth 25 points. We had to earn a certain number of points everyday or we were scolded. It doesn't matter how the pages looked. Quality means nothing at Lee. Morale was low. Virtually everyone was looking for new jobs.

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.
