Pros

Fixed predictable schedule and manageable workload

Cons

Poor management, no opportunity for advancement, no chance of merit raises. They stretch contracted “temp” workers as long as possible before permanent hire and benefits are far below market.

A sinking ship

Pros

The company was flexible with remote work. If you're a young reporter you'll get a chance to do a bit of everything, but you will be asked to work long hours for low pay with little respect.

Cons

Weak management Low pay with high turnover Continual budget cuts Interference in editorial independence The company has been going downhill for some time now and is a shell of its former self. Not only did we not have the time and resources to report the news effectively, management seemed to care more about advertising revenue than actually serving the community.

Could Be Worse; Not Great.

Pros

Full-time remote work is pretty great. Considerable schedule flexibility, and plenty of autonomy. Manager is very friendly and supportive.

Cons

Pay is significantly below average for the area, as compared with similar positions at similar experience level. Benefits package is middling. Inability or unwillingness to backfill some former colleague's positions results in increased workload in an allegedly very important team.
