      Not for the innovators

      Pros

      Company with strong ethics & admired reputation.

      Cons

      The company is stuck in the mindset of news gathering agencies in existence 50 years ago; upper management is stagnant, innovation is not in the vocabulary.

      Was a rewarding experience, back in the day. The Golden Era is long gone

      Pros

      It never gets tiring to see your byline in papers and on websites around the country. Outstanding opportunities to report on history, surrounded by incredibly talented and impassioned co-workers.

      Cons

      For a communication company, management does a laughable job of communicating its vision to employees -- probably because management lacks vision.

      staff outside journalism ranks not valued, disposable

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Name recognition, prestige; it really is the best news organization in the world. Most ethical and talented journalists in the world. Really great, caring, co-workers, colleagues, some wonderful managers, directors. Friends for life. Very customer-oriented.

      Cons

      Internal operations is a nightmare. Benefits are worse each year and more expensive. Even with token salary increases, take-home is consistently less each year. No career advancement, no recognition or compensation for increased responsibilities or making significant contributions to company. Upper management credibility is low; message inconsistent and at odds with actions. Work-life balance is sketchy. No OT, and difficult to take comp time. Continual layoffs and reorgs. Very high stress, fearful environment. Pay range is insulting for non-journalist ranks. Promises seldom kept to staff.
