Pros

Plethora of markets for advancement.

Cons

The wage disparity is atrocious. Quantity of content is valued over quality. Industry as a whole relies on cheaper unskilled labor. High healthcare benefit rates. Disconnect among industry goals and actions. Low job security. Low pay.

Pros

As much overtime as you want to work available due to short staffing. Healthcare is a step above what is available through ACA.

Cons

Management believes their own line if BS from corporate on down to the local level Google "everything is wonderful Gannett" for a good laugh and then pity those of us currently employed by these million dollar yahoos. Antiquated equipment being kept running with bubble gum and string. Low pay, long hours, total disregard of personal life needs of the line level employees by management and really bad kool-aid. Ken Kesey, where are you?
