Pros

Can't think of one pro...no not one. I have to keep writing to take up the space. But no. Nothing good here

Cons

They have mediocre management killing anything innovative. If there is any taken it must be stamped out immediately. It's a bad produce and they have no respect for the advertiser. Run away and get a real job. Only people that stay can't get hired anywhere else. Especially management. It's where all the has beens go to die.

Pros

casual dress code, benefits and PTO

Cons

I was there for 13 years and there is no loyalty whatsoever. Don't plan on retiring there, you are better off finding a more loyal company to work for that values their employees and treats them better. If you are going to terminate employment, let them leave immediately, not keep them hanging around.

Pros

I can't think of one pro other then I loved a couple of people I worked with, and we all collaboratively hated our job.

Cons

Awful pay. The poor people that have worked here for 20 plus years, I have no idea why they are still here. They can go down the street and get a 50%+ increase in their pay. The benefits, especially being such a large company were horrific- expensive and covered nothing. The management was TERRIBLE. The is the understatement of the year. The person who ran the office was a sexist pig that spoke to everyone (which was women) like dogs. There was so many times people would run out of his office crying. The female "manager" was not any better with bipolar tendencies- you never knew which was the wind was going to blow- honestly I dreaded walking into work everyday in fear of being yelled or degraded for no reason. Very very hostile working environment. I understand newspapers are loosing their appeal... The circulation was astronomically low. They tried to get us to sell digital products that were astronomically priced with little benefit to the client. Email blasts, a joke- anyone that paid over $1000 for an email blast thought it was the biggest waste of money. Websites... A joke. PPC campaigns and SEO were done by GO team in Arizona or somewhere and have NO IDEA what they are doing. These were not products I felt comfortable selling- because they were awful!!!!! The customers would look at me like I was crazy because let's be honest only someone who is crazy would pay those prices for pretty much nothing in return. My 7 year old daughter can do better online campaigns then this "GO" team. Worst company ever.
