Pros

The vast majority of the employees were the absolute heart of this company but the executive management team destroyed any notion that Digital First Media (formerly Journal Register Company) was the place to learn, grow and thrive.

Cons

Disconnected, ruthless and laser focused on the "digital dimes for print dollars" mantra, senior management effectively killed the cash cow (print) long before the digital components were positioned to make up the difference. As one national media agency representative recently commented..."Digital First Media is one hot mess."
