Pros

Wide variety of issues and stories to cover. Editorial staff are generally solid and professional.

Cons

Management style company-wide is somewhat inconsistent, there also are no pay raises or other incentives for improvement. In this company it is a matter of who you know, and the situation at the Gresham press plant is a case in point. There is a woman there who should have been fired years ago but somehow hangs on because of personal connections. The final printed products suffer in quality because of this.

Advertisers influence the news, reporters write advertorials.

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.

Not keeping up

Pros

Kind, good natured co-workers. Consumer-facing products are very attractive, and there is effort made in that direction.

Cons

Behind the curve, little attempt to keep up with changes in the business world. No attempt to keep up with technology.
