Pros

Good people work in this building. They bust their tails day in and day out to get the news out in digital and print. Many have a team dynamic and thus the newsroom functions well when we're not micromanaged. Paid time off, floating holidays and sick time are generally never questioned.

Cons

Editorial employees are micromanaged at every turn, and mostly by people who don't have a clue how to actually do their jobs. Rah-rah meetings are often held to try and placate employees in lieu of raises, bonuses and OT. As mentioned above...bonus? What's a bonus? Money in this place doesn't filter past the top tier. No raises in years. Everyone forced to take a pay cut. Most people doing 3 or 4 jobs at once. No room for advancement. Unethical practices taking place here every day. Customers aren't getting papers delivered and digital subscriptions don't work as advertised. We are told to ignore all the complaints.

Pros

Great editors, flexibility with schedule and a place where you can really grow as a reporter. The corporate ownership can be a pain but in-house management is great. As far as mid-size newspapers go, it's hard to find a better fit in the industry.

Cons

None as far as the place itself goes.
