Influence - among dated business practices

Pros

- upper management really listens to your ideas and wants to take action - offered a tremendous amount of autonomy and independence - not micromanaged - fair pay - great bennefits - having The Associated Press on your resume

Cons

- though upper management is interested in your ideas, there is no mobility or budget to do anything to follow through on ideas - incredibly dated company that is having a hard time modernizing to the digital and social media age - feel like I am stuck in a bad office sitcom from the 90's - as a younger employee, I am an anomaly; most of the workers are middle aged, no youthful culture - you are frustrated everyday by internal and external systems and the lack of resources to really have an impact on change
