Pros

Good digital suite of products. They treat their managers very well financially and with benefits.

Cons

So much transition has really hurt customer experience. They are too big to effectively communicate change and train properly. It's just one restructure after another.

Pros

If the company doesn't have designs to get rid of your department they're not a bad company to work for but if they plan to eliminate your department, the company is very cold and callous.

Cons

When they bought our company, LIN Media reps came in and lied to all our faces. They promised nothing would change and then within a few months they unceremoniously got rid of several departments and left the other workers wondering from day to day if the hatchet was going to fall on them next.
