Pros

Recently refinished the bathrooms & added vending machines.

Cons

No shots at promotions, local employees not considered for leadership roles. They hire from Omaha, Iowa, Las Vegas and treat employees like they know nothing. Morale at an all-time low, turnover near 100%. Circling the drain and the Publisher thinks the employees believe her lies. Getting ready to hike commissions on sales reps and outsource jobs next. No growth, only salary purges.

Pros

Good people on hand at the Progress, providing solid coverage of both the rapidly growing Charlottesville area and the University of Virginia community.

Cons

Many of the problems confronting daily newspapers today as the shift continues from print to online media; the paper has bolstered its online presence, but still is trying to find its niche. The 2012 sale from Media General to Berkshire Hathaway hasn't had an appreciable editorial effect. As is the case at most newspapers, pay is relatively low.
