Pros

- Great, local paper environment. - Able to really get involved with community you cover - Colleagues are generally always available to help in some way - Decent enough benefits & 401K - Pretty much able to work your beat/community in your own way - Fairly flexible schedule if you meet deadlines consistently

Cons

- Pay is incredibly low - Because of low pay, not everyone takes their role at paper seriously or are always looking for something 'better' - Some reporters are given more of a leash than others based on friendships and beat covered
