Pros

Um.... um.... um... yeah I've got nothing

Cons

Let's start with the fact that I worked for Adams Publishing. They bought a hometown, 100+ year old paper that had an 85% market share. Last I heard, it is around 10%. We had a guaranteed commission - that stopped. We had a 12% 401k match - that stopped. They removed the management from the building during their (hostile) takeover in order to offer promotions to "friends" who have been with them in other markets for who knows how long. They ignore seniority and hire people off the street who former management repeatedly turned down due to lack of qualifications. All in all this is a poorly run company. They are unfortunately purchasing papers in order to take all of the money they can before either selling them or closing them. They are a hedge fund who have no knowledge of the industry nor do they care.

Pros

I enjoy my job and the new adventures it brings each day. As a manager, I like being able to help shape our future and pass on my knowledge to help others succeed.

Cons

I suppose there are always things that can be improved and who doesn't want to earn more money, and although I understand that is most likely based on revenue generation, we have a lot of team members across the country that have been with the company (and their respective publications) for many, many years and I believe they're salaries should be reflective of that time and dedication and that is not always the case, as we have team members who have been here for a decade, sometimes decades, making less that someone we just hired.
