Pros

Good starting base salary for entry level job. Nashville is a fun city. You always have a place to park in the city. Ability to work in digital advertising.

Cons

Very unprofessional atmosphere. The office feels like you are working in a dungeon and it feels and looks like it is the 1980's. The starting base salary is a nice starting point for an overall salary, but don't expect to make your bonuses often. It actuallity it really depends on what team you are on. Some teams are better than others and make goals more frequently, while some other teams will not make goals at all. Management is shadey. My first week working there they attempted to change my bonus structure around. They also are shadey and dishonest towards the clients. All they care about is taking money from people, not in establishing business partnerships and lasting relationships with their clients. The list could go on and on.

Pros

Do to Gannett cutting local journalism as much as it possibly can, the newsroom was stretched thin, meaning I got to do impressive assignments that should have gone to more senior staff if such existed. The Tennessean is the best newspaper in Nashville and will propel you to better future gigs. Use this as a stepping stone.

Cons

The pay is insulting and you will be overworked.
