Pros

Hyperlocal is a great mission and great idea but a very difficult business. Patch is really solving the fundamental problems of hyperlocal...and doing it with humor, passion, and fun. My skills and talents get nurtured and developed. I feel like I've had more of a business education at Patch in the last year than in the 10 years prior.

Cons

I'd like to meet more of the field writers

Pros

Work from home, get to cover fun local events, freedom to write any topic, nothing more to be said

Cons

Poorly managed, local editors are overworked and undervalued, company is more concerned about racking up page views than their staff's wellbeing, vision is always changing, no work/life balance, pay level is insulting
