Pros

During my time working for the LA Times, I enjoyed the collaborative environment and networking opportunities.

Cons

While I enjoyed the collaborative environment, I found obstacles when I explored opportunities for growth and the possibility for promotions. During that time, the LA Times was owned by Tribune. Due to their well documented bankruptcy, there were major structural changes happening during that time.

Pros

Good focus on long-form writing and journalism; lots of lovely people worked here and there was a nice community outside of the office; felt like a legit civic institution that people in L.A. care about.

Cons

Uneven management with unclear long-term priorities and conflicting top-down mandates. Not very willing to collaborate with the union.
