Pros

The individual teams at each publication are great. Great sense of camaraderie.

Cons

Upper management has no idea what they're doing. Layoffs happen frequently and are handled terribly. The Connecticut cluster is in shambles because the people working in the trenches are laid off when revenue is down (which is always), so there are skeletal crews trying to put out newspapers/magazines. They've outsourced much of their production work to India, including designing local ads. Raises are non-existent, compensation is a joke.
