Pros

Good people. Great building and location. Flexible when it comes to working from home, provided that it is not abused.

Cons

Upper management seems to be more cut-throat and has become very disorganized. Always seems to be changing direction. Terrible communication to employees to a point where no one seems to know what is going on at times. Salaries are low when compared to competitors for the same position.

Pros

Pay OK and daily work . Actually we work a lot of OT because of a hiring freeze. Problem is the circulation keeps dropping so nobody know how much longer we will have employment.

Cons

Hand off load everything. , the newspaper industries is dying so management has a doom and gloom attitude. Management is constantly trying new ways to increase business but you can't force people to read newspapers.
