Pros

I feel that the our region has a great group. Everyone works together as a team to continue to improve and provide quality local journalism to our communities and offer a wide range of advertising options to our local businesses.

Cons

I would like to see if it would be possible to have (re)trainings at the beginning of the year to be spread out over more than just the month of January. With the required training sessions, plus any normally scheduled meetings, it accounted for 32 hours of the month. While I understand the need for these sessions, that is a significant amount of my working hours for the month and did impact the ability of selling time.

It is a great place to work. It really would be nice if cost of living raises would take place.

Pros

The flexibility when it comes to family. For the most part management is great. But how many chiefs does one company really need, meaning top heavy management reduction could mean a pinch higher wage for employees who are deserving of a raise.

Cons

Cost of living wage increase would be wonderful.
