Pros

People on local level are great to work with....just been bought out by another media, it can't be any worse than Freedom, looking forward to a change

Cons

Freedom took a 5% pay cut, eventually give back 2%, WOW!!...Haven't had a raise in UPTEEN YEARS, CFO visited and blew smoke up our butt and didn't hold to any of his promises. RC Hoiles would probably turn in his grave (if he hasn't already) at what the family did to this company

Pros

The majority of the people in the newsroom are good friends who hang out together a lot outside of work. If you want to gain or improve your computer/job skills, there is always someone willing to teach you.

Cons

The company cut salaries by 5% to dig themselves out of bankruptcy but did not discontinue management bonuses. Now (in 2011), 2% has been reinstated. But, the rest is considered a raise that must be approved by management. They currently are not giving raises. The assignment editor is a nag who makes the newsroom a stressful place to be. The staff once met after work to discuss ways to get back to enjoying the work environment. it boiled down to ways to handle and work around her.
