Pros

There are no good reasons to work for the Union Leader. The only reason to work there used to be the pay, but since they've cut the pay, there is no reason to work there.

Cons

Bad management, no support, no training, no motivation to excel, lack of resources, no respect for employees. The paper is slashing benefits and outsourcing work to freelancers and contract personnel.

Pros

Good editors, lots of story opportunities, good pay. A great job for any young reporter looking to get their start.

Cons

Not a lot of direction or mentorship, and the direction you get can sometimes be a little clueless (not the fault of the editors so much as a fact of a limited staff dealing with a pretty big operation). Editorial judgement can sometimes be a little over-cautious, sometimes too eager for cheap traffic. Web strategy, at least when I was there, was all over the place, with policies changing from week to week. Very confusing.
