Crain Communications reviews

Demanding employees back into the office but not enforcing rule on all departments equally, "leadership team" doesn't have confidence in CEO and speak openly about it in areas where employees can hear them, far too many managers, directors micro-manage areas below the managers that they oversee, driving toward 'digital first' business model and pushing readers to digital subscriptions without a plan of how to replace print advertising revenue, circulation numbers are far below what is reported to advertisers, raises are called merit reviews but are not based on performance and are never in line with the standard of living increase, currently in the process of transitioning the production to an outside company with all their production people in India and the Phillipines and using the current prodution team to train their replacements. Employee manual is regularly updated in ways to favor the company over the employees (no PTO payout if resigned with notice and they charge for any PTO used that wasn't accrued yet), work-life balance is proclaimed as important by ownership but is not supported by all directors across the company.

Can be some long hours
