Pros

Pays ok, commission structure is good, good middle management, excellent tools and products, though competitive. PTO is decent but health insurance is expensive.

Cons

The newspaper industry is shrinking, so the company cuts staff, or doesn’t backfill, and continues to demand more from their existing employees. They are very busy (which is a good thing-they keep exceeding goals).

Pros

I liked the various graphic design jobs I had within this company.

Cons

No opportunity for advancement at the level I was at. I had wanted a job in management, but had been turned down even though my qualifications were exceptional.

Pros

It's a well established organization with many good people still working there and it feels like a family working in the lower ranks. An expert with unique skills who does not rock the boat can work there for many years. Relaxing office atmosphere in most departments, some management is willing to have flexible work schedule. Company is owned by a large corporate parents and is a great place to learn what not to do in management if you are looking to hone supervisory skills by osmosis. Company is trying very hard to be innovative.

Cons

Lack of competent leadership in technology and advertising fields. Cronyism on the top levels of management. Not competitive compensation for high tech jobs. Very limited growth opportunities for people who work hard, new responsibilities are assigned as more people are leaving. Big media company with small IT and Newmedia departments makes it harder to get job done right.
