Pros

I worked with some wonderful, talented, creative people who just happened to stumble into the same terrible experience as me.

Cons

The owner of the company is a complete narcissist with little to no actual training in the creative side of producing newspapers, but that will not prevent him from acting like he invented the craft. During my time there, I saw many examples of verbal abuse to employees, especially on the editorial side. Wages are not fair, and it is made very clear that most people are not valued at all. I also saw demotions of others based on petty disagreements or an issue that was usually his own fault. Be prepared to work with a grown man who behaves like a 12-year-old. Most of the people I worked with at the time have left, and I sincerely hope he took that as a message to change, but given the attitude I knew when I was there, I doubt it.
