Pros

Health benefits were inexpensive, 401k matching, life insurance offered.

Cons

Unless you're in Management or above you're not going to be recognized for your contributions. Reviews are a joke, you'll get the same 2% raise at the person next to you or never does anything and has no work ethic. You'll be stressed out by demands from your VP and corporate with no regard to your health. I've been in this line of work for over 20 years and I've never had such horrible leadership. Taking a day off or a vacation was was a scary thought because of what I'd have in my inbox to attempt to catch up on when I returned. Certain regional VPs in the area will do and say whatever they needed to advance rather than take responsibility for their poor leadership and avoidance of local problems.

Pros

I am blown away by the caring leadership style exhibited amidst the COVID19 pandemic. From the Cox CEO to the Publisher of the AJC to individual managers - AJC is showing up for the employees - which in-turn has allowed the broader organization to show up for our readers in the Atlanta Metro community. Our organization turned on a dime to work remotely with full trust from management, and to support our team members that need to be here in person and it shows in the journalism, and the print and digital experiences. Well done.

Cons

Still a few friction points in the org from one or two individuals that seem to seek it out - but with good coaching it should subside.
