Pros

The company is big enough you can find a niche for your special interest(s) in journalism.

Cons

Dean Singleton is a miser. He grew up poor and instead of learning to care about those who work under him, he treats them as expendable. They pay low, poor if any benefits. They jimmied the heater so we couldn't turn it up in the winter. We were pretty cold. People started bringing in heaters and had them under their desks to keep warm. They had us working in the dark. I got eyestrain so bad my vision was blurring. They said they were willing to get me a lamp - as long as the price was under $10. I quit.
