Pros
Made some good friends. Loved working in journalism.
Cons
Horrible management. Replaced a publisher/Managing Editor with decades of experience with a dumb kid 2 years out of college who completely changed things and merged departments which were running fine just because he had the power to change things and then proceeded to do so to justify his title.. Our department moved our desks and work area three times in less than two years on his capricious whims and all of his strategies eventually failed. He did manage to destroy morale. HR is a joke and the simplest thing like an employment verification for a rental application was a major pain and took too long. Final straw was when Lee decided to go with a Regional Design Center in the midwest and use a cookie cutter approach to the design of their many different newspapers and they outsourced our entire department's jobs with just 3 weeks notice, letting many great people go including folks who had worked at the paper for decades. Many people will be happy when print journalism completely dies off and Lee goes out of business..
