Pros

Smart staff, collegial environment -- everyone on the team is hardworking and there are no back-stabbers.

Cons

The overall sense is that of being on a sinking ship, as the newsroom keeps shrinking. There have been no raises (even cost-of-living increases) for almost a decade.

Pros

The work itself was usually ok at first. Clear goals and duties.

Cons

Management didn’t understand inner workings of job technicalities and as department kept shrinking theyd pile on more duties. If you struggle with chronic illness or disability stay away. One person of management was vocally bigoted and created a stressful environment for everyone else Not given enough hours to do work given, constantly kept below hours to avoid giving benefits, low pay, and terrible environment.
