Pros

friendly co-workers, opportunities to learn new things

Cons

A lot of nepotism/favoritism is played by management. A blatant disregard for staff of color and actually increasing diversity in the newsroom. There isn't much room for growth if management doesn't pick you as their favorite. Horrible hours with no incentive from leaderships to avoid burnout. It is not a work culture where you feel like the organization cares about its employees.

Pros

Family-oriented, friendly, I've made a few friends there.

Cons

There' not much room to grow. I feel like this is a dying industry and they didn't know what to do about it. Some of the folks who have been there for longer say that in the past, this used to be really something but now it "feels like a factory job" (that's an exact quote). I don't think morale is all that hot, and I don't know anyone my age who thinks this is a place to build a career. I had to have a second job just to make ends meet.
