Good ol' boys

Pros

Lots of different places to work, pay is okay depending on the job, most of the lower level staff are great to work with.

Cons

Rush rush rush around your circulation area. Little time is given for work, never enough considering the driving between assignments, and overall little care is given to quality. Don't expect to get very far in the company either—it's filled with good ol' boys. I'm even a guy, doesn't matter. Most of the people I know that got promoted or hired weren't the best and most qualified, they were barely competent family friends. Office politics will play a large role, and upper management won't listen to you.

Supportive work environment. Great co-workers.

Cons

Newspaper is not the most exciting industry to in right now. Lack of possibility of career advancement is also a draw back.
