Lots of talk, very little action

Pros

I honestly can't think of a single pro of working there. It used to be innovative. At one point, there was a great team of employees there. Neither of those apply now.

Cons

Upper management is largely clueless. Is driven by short term monetary goals and lacks a fundamental understanding of consultative sales and how to truly become a partner with their clients. They are only interested in their own job security and providing short term gains for the investor.

Pros

The company is comprised of many talented people - most of who are working at its local newspapers. If the reports are correct, the best thing that can happen for local papers is to be sold to another owner.

Cons

Very political at the corporate level where quality work doesn't count nearly as much as who you're friends with. The c-level executives are oftentimes more interested in one-upping each other than looking out for the best interests of the company.
