Pros
Several sales and management regimes ago, you were free to pitch your own story ideas, and to pursue the writing tone and story angle you wished. They gave early-career journalists freedom and leash they'd be hard-pressed to get at traditional outlets and bigger papers. It was excellent longform training for so many talented reporters and writers who've gone onto bigger things.
Cons
The sorry pay, nonexistent raises, and constant budget cuts that made the morale sink into oblivion.
