Pros

The Los Angeles Times used to be a unique place to work with a great reputation. Good benefits, pretty competitive pay. Located in downtown at 2nd and Spring so it's near some fun stuff.

Cons

The clientele that occupies part of the building are not used to wearing business attire or acting in a fashion that is acceptable in a business environment.

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.
