Pros

The flexible work schedule allows you to balance work/life better than some jobs in the area.

Cons

Communication between papers within our group is poor and too often ineffectual in resolving problems. Salaries are far below industry.

Pros

Great people, good benefits, seem to like to promote within. Super smart editors.

Cons

The editors' minds and desires are in the right places, but there's too much red tape to get anything done. Little resources and lots of scrambling over budgets.
