Pros

Company has provided stable positions and career growth for a lot of employees. Great management, great training. Amazing benefits.

Cons

The new upper board changed the company's ethos. Instead of caring about the quality of content, it has become all about numbers and lay off have been happening left and right.

Pros

Overall, the morning team was great, minus the managers.

Cons

Terribly toxic managerial experience. No flexibility. While the pay seems "nice" to a lower-market reporter, 77K is NOT enough to live on in the Tampa-St. Pete area. Minimum should be 95K.

Pros

I loved the people I worked with and the work I did.

Cons

The company is a sinking ship. They’ve been laying off hundreds of people every other week since late November.
