Lovely coworkers but a few things could be better

I enjoyed most of my time at Chronicle due to my coworkers but the company itself needs work. Profit sharing is a great idea but... higher pay would be better especially since the owner of Chronicle is a millionaire.
Cons

The head of HR is incredibly condescending and I wasn't the only one that felt that way.
