Pros

They pay well compared to other media outlets in the tri-state area, but that can leave you feeling trapped because you know you can't really get a comparable salary elsewhere.

Cons

Poor newsroom leadership. Editors allow their personal drama with each other to interfere with reporters actually collaborating. Most newsrooms encourage teamwork, we're all in this together mindset, not really the case here.

Pros

It's the only game in town for daily journalism. My last year was prior to 2011, but Glassdoor didn't allow me the option to go farther back.

Cons

Concentration on clicks, not on work done.
