Pros
Great variety of projects to work on. Let artists specialize in certain types of work, such as digital, print, and within print specializing with auto/grocery/chain stores, etc. Small teams sectioned off of the larger employee body, so it was like a small neighborhood.
Cons
After Gannet was bought out, the workplace started first by laying off mid tier management, and then outsourcing dozens of art jobs to Mumbai, India. The company started focusing on what they could cut out to save money, dumping more and more work on those remaining. After the buyout as well, artists were no longer offered training. Those few that had been given training were suddenly given twice the workload expectations. There were lawsuit issues as well, as customers who cannot comprehend what they are allowed to do with copyright law, and the artists who also are not aware. Several every expensive lawsuits happened and NO protection in place to stop it from happening again.
