Los Angeles Times Response

We’re glad to hear you appreciated the terms of employment. Our HR department has added headcount to provide better and more consistent support to our employees. We are also launching a quarterly check-in process which we hope will both increase and improve 1-1 communication between employees and managers.

Pros

The management was supportive and responsive. I never had any issues.

Cons

It is a far commute for those who are remote and need to work in the office.

Pros

Good focus on long-form writing and journalism; lots of lovely people worked here and there was a nice community outside of the office; felt like a legit civic institution that people in L.A. care about.

Cons

Uneven management with unclear long-term priorities and conflicting top-down mandates. Not very willing to collaborate with the union.
