Pros

Believes in the power of media and information to the consumer. Trying to change with the "market" to provide media and information in a way consumers desire to receive it, however, with the broad range of consumers, it is difficult to please all subscribers

Cons

Past financial pains and evolving markets drive a large focus on revenue generation, growth of subscribership that many readers believe should be free to them.

Pros

A company that I believe genuinely cares about its employees as much as their clients. Great work/life balance, decent pay, great culture, welcoming and supportive atmosphere.

Cons

Trying to "fix" too many things at one time can lead to inconsistency and feelings of being overwhelmed at all levels. There is a lot of great intent and plans to continue to grow the company and make things better overall, however, sometimes it felt a lot like "pulling at straws" approach where upper leadership would try something impulsively, and not stick to it long enough to see if it could truly make an impact, and many times certain approaches contradicted a previous one for a different area of opportunity. However, it's important to note, that through many moving parts, there was always support offered, and a "safe space" to provide feedback at even entry level roles.
