Pros

To work in the media industry these days is tough of course. But despite big lay offs, people are still energetic and optimistic and come with new ideas on a daily basis. And have never worked at a place with so many talented people.

Cons

Could be better communication between the local newspapers and the HQ. Could be better cooperation between online and print.

Pros

I love working at Hearst in the Baltimore, Maryland market. I have worked for many radio stations over the past nearly 40 years and this is one of the best companies as far as working environment. I really feel cared for here.

Cons

On a personal level, I've had a hard time getting full time employment within the company, which is discouraging. Also, it takes forever for management to make hiring decisions.
