Better Than Newspaper Industry

Pros

Working from home is a plus, offers flexibility. Pay is better than an equivalent newspaper job. Management is pretty transparent about goals and finances. Feels like a financially stable company. Don't have to worry about next round of layoffs. While health benefits aren't astounding they are better than average and much better than many newspaper plans.

Cons

Sometimes goals can shift on a dime and then shift back just as quickly. No matching 401k.
