Pros

Honestly, there are none. They purchase properties, offer false hope, then enforce massive layoffs and force silence through contracts before offering minimal severance based on time served.

Cons

Low wages. Lack of journalistic knowledge and standards. Unfair hiring standards. Unfair salary requirements. Lousy insurance. CEO and other top management are unfit to lead. No knowledge of the amount of staff it takes to manage a newspaper. No knowledge nor care for the communities they serve.

Worst Communication Ever

Pros

Decent pay, they don't keep tabs on employees so it's easy to focus on what's important versus taking blind orders.

Cons

I could write a book on the cons of this company, but I'll keep it short here. They don't care about local communities, employers, clients, vendors, processes and operations, or how money is spent. They fire people based on numbers and "loyalty" (years employed) instead of talking to teams about who is valuable and why. They hold pointless meetings with anywhere from 5-80 without any agenda or talking points (massive waste of time). They also don't care about moving forward in the digital world despite thats what they claim to be championing; outdated software, denying expert advice, and refusing to adapt process changes that involve modern tools are just a few examples. Oh, and every single deptartment head was gifted their position because they have an inner circle of friends that existed before they started APG corporate. I.T, HR, Design, Accounting, etc are all ran by the most incompetent people I've met in my life; in regards to their respective positions. Avoid this company at all costs, and if you work there now you should be looking for a new job starting yesterday!
