Pros

It's still a well known brand in the community. You will likely get hired if you apply. Even though people are being laid off, a few more a leaving on their own.

Cons

The company is dying on a vine, and it's all because of poor leadership. The need to make cuts in order to meet a predetermined budget is just part of doing business in corporate America, but when the cuts are made, a reasonable person would say make the cuts based on the needs of the organization and not based on who the department leader likes best or feels less threatened by which has been the case in advertising for the past 10 years. If you're looking for a leader that lacks courage is not liked by the staff and rewards unqualified lackeys to create a department of mistrust, this is the place for you.

Pros

Great editors, flexibility with schedule and a place where you can really grow as a reporter. The corporate ownership can be a pain but in-house management is great. As far as mid-size newspapers go, it's hard to find a better fit in the industry.

Cons

None as far as the place itself goes.
