Pros

Despite of the new players in the industry, the brand is strongly recognized, admired and respected worldwide . The international correspondents are outstanding.

Cons

We are too comfortable with the popularity of the brand. We need to be more aggressive to keep up with the new demands of the industry.

Pros

The title may be a bit misleading. Here's the meaning. A short time after I started working there I said to myself I could retire here. The atmosphere was kind and good. The pay could be better. But the benefits were very good. The location was perfect. I enjoyed nearly every day I went to work. And when I left I was as deeply troubled as a person leaving his loving family. Frankly I didn't want to go.

Cons

There is a Us and Them mentality between NYC and Atlanta. It's unfortunate. At a Sr level, Atlanta restricted growth and became petty when I raised the bar and/or over performed. My actions lead to a Peabody Award. Their actions where disheartening. And I truly wish the us and them was never an issue.
