Pros

There is a lot of opportunity and the majority of the staff is very helpful.

Cons

The best employees get overworked and take on the majority of the work, while there are a lot of senior level VPs and Directors that don't seem like they do much.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We agree that there’s a lot of opportunity at our company and we continue working to create an environment and process for supporting each employee’s career development. As part of that, we are rolling out a feature that will help managers by soliciting feedback from direct reports and other colleagues and also training to encourage them to communicate more about what they do on a day-to-day basis. We appreciate everything you do for us and look forward to working hard to make California Times the best place possible to work and build a career.

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.
