Pros

The company maintains a community atmosphere. It has a good location, offering employees relative ease in going to work, unlike other major publications that are located in more congested areas.

Cons

Management has weakened compared to earlier years. The company is still able to recruit talented staff, but the relatively weaker training and leadership usually result in the loss of talents to other companies.
