Pros

I worked at the JS in many capacities over many years. Sales, client services, digital, marketing, etc. The friendships I made there are ones I will carry with me always. The people are fun, friendly, hard-working and really work hard to promote a 'work family' atmosphere.

Cons

Unfortunately, pay is stagnant and people in marketing roles (not sales) or support roles rarely have the chance to make ANY money. This company has been through so much with mergers, takeovers, layoffs, etc, it's a shame to see so many good people have to find employment elsewhere in order to survive.

Pros

Worked at the Journal Sentinel for over a year part time. Can be a fun place/environment to work in depending on the department. Decent experience for those just coming out of college with no other experience working in a professional work environment.

Cons

- Higher up management does little to help and does not listen to suggestions - Increase in responsibility is rewarded with pressure and nothing else - Instead of hiring for full time they continue to hire more part-time employees - There are those employees who do not do their jobs after years with the company and have not been fired - There is very little time for training a new employee - Many employees come and go within a year - Does not always feel like a professional work environment
