Pros

Pay OK and daily work . Actually we work a lot of OT because of a hiring freeze. Problem is the circulation keeps dropping so nobody know how much longer we will have employment.

Cons

Hand off load everything. , the newspaper industries is dying so management has a doom and gloom attitude. Management is constantly trying new ways to increase business but you can't force people to read newspapers.

Business Outlook

Pros

A first class organization. When the company invests in a new property the upgrades are outstanding. The benefits package for employees is second to know one.

Cons

ABC Affiliates are always the priority in the group. The corporate culture is very New York. That attitude sometimes does not play well in the South.
