Pros

Had a great editor but constrained by the corporate's philosophy of working reporters to within an inch of complete exhaustion at $14/hour.

Cons

As staff cuts kept happening, more stories from theater reviews to city hall meetings to business news fell to me and included mandatory front page story with photo, full-page feature, with photo, and at least two to three other news stories -- all of which had once been delivered by three reporters. No, my salary did not triple. Never, never got more than $14/hour after three years. I quit, took a job cleaning that paid $16/hour.

Pros

Sound Publishing has some of the most dedicated employees I've ever worked alongside. There are many opportunities for both lateral and upward career development. Each operation is encouraged to operate with an entrepreneurial spirit. Although Sound Publishing has gone through many changes and challenges in the last few years, they consistently treat their employees fair. The benefits are great. If someone is looking for a job where they can make a difference in their communities, Sound Publishing is a perfect fit.

Cons

Although the pay isn't the best for some, senior management has worked the last few years diligently to bring wages up to a more competitive level.
