Lack of Leadership, Direction

Pros

This place has a handful of good managers. Not great, but decent. And, the PTO is unmatched anywhere else.

Cons

Lack of strategic vision and follow through from upper management. This company is a traditional publisher trying, and failing, to succeed in the digital publishing world. They lack direction and focus. As a result, projects are started and abandoned without due diligence on either side.

Ambitious yet lumbering

Pros

Excellent vacation and sick policy. Good benefits.

Cons

Lofty values embodied in a set of statements hanging in everyone's office and cube yet a culture that can't live up to it's values. A rotating cast of characters at the senior management level leaves this ship rudderless. Business processes are a mess and without stronger internal facing leadership they will remain so. At mid and junior level positions prepare yourself to feel completely without a voice and completely toothless.
