Pros

Friendly staff, free parking, camaraderie with other reporters.

Cons

Hard to work in open office atmosphere. It's not so much what you do, but who you know at Pamplin. Weak health insurance. Took up collections for co-worker with cancer so she could buy groceries because insurance covered so little of medical bills. No match for 401K. Let big advertisers influence news stories. Example: Big car dealership threatened to pull ads unless they got a front page story. Management caved. Reporters forced to write advertorials. Forced to use substandard (free) software. Too cheap to even buy Microsoft Word. IT department from Neptune. Terrible story filing system, developed in-house, as was email, which frequently broke down.
