      Great Idea...Poor Leadership

      Pros

      AOL dumped a crazy amount of money into the idea.

      Cons

      Nothing like the training you go through. Very inefficient internally and operationally confused. Management is unsure of how to lead from the front. "Do as I say not as I do mentality."

      Pros

      Many of my co-workers were lifelines during the constant upheaval of working at Patch.

      Cons

      So many to mention: top management had no clue of what was needed, necessary and viable out in the separate Patch towns. Instead of bombarding the editors with one corporate initiative after another that just caused more work but no results, why not help us do our jobs better? Hiring advertising staff might help to bring in money.

      Pros

      While Patch was owned by AOL, employees were given excellent benefits and competitive salaries. Working from home was also nice.

      Cons

      Zero work-life balance. There were no set hours, and the work was never done. Management was very inconsistent. Some managers gave the editors complete flexibility and autonomy, and others were micromanagers.
