      Pros

      Great job for getting to know a town and really ingraining yourself in community news and small businesses.

      Cons

      Communication between headquarters and the field can be hit or miss sometimes. You need to be very organized in order to maintain a work-life balance.

      Pros

      AOL benefits, Virtual Office, Finally went to monthly commission pay outs. (Used to be 3 months, then 6 months, then finally monthly except they screw you on commissions if your selling on a CPM basis because it gets billed in arrears.

      Cons

      It's not hyper-local news anymore. Editors have to work in multiple Patch sites and are totally burned out. The freelance budget has been cut and taken away. There is no ROI for advertisers...the daily UV's to the site are a joke.....Patch claims 20,000 plus UV's on a monthly basis per Patch site....the truth is people are going to Patch less than 1.8 visits per MONTH! The site GOALS are 800 visits a day and they aren't hitting those numbers. Now selling a 25% share o of these 800 visits on an inside page position (roughly 85% of the traffic is an "inside" page) for $720 per month to a local business is an insanely high CPM and poor ROI for the client. Unless you are a hospital or financial institution with unlimited budget for "branding" Patch advertising is not a smart investment to grow your business.
