Pros

Great atmosphere. Awesome management. Everyone willing to help one another. Whether you were at the bottom or the top, everyone talked to each other, even if it was just to see how your day is.

Cons

The newspaper business in general is slowly dying and layoffs do happen every now and then. Also, it seemed it was quite difficult for an employee to move up in ranks. They were also a little behind in technology and didn't have a very good CRM system.

The management was supportive and responsive. I never had any issues.

It is a far commute for those who are remote and need to work in the office.

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.
