Pros

They work to produce good journalism. It isn’t always successful.

Cons

They are trying to innovate but don’t have a clear strategy. The execs in charge of this have a long track record of failure and it shows in the results. The company produces very strong margins but constantly cuts benefits for employees. The latest is dropping holiday pay. Mr. Lougee is in over his head and doesn’t really care much for his employees.

Pros

Flexible work environment - hybrid

Cons

Heavy workload, way below market compensation for the amount of responsibility, very limited advancement opportunities & uneven workload distribution among teams. In my experience, leadership made repeated statements about promotion opportunities in career growth that ultimately did not materialize. I felt that expectations were set that weren’t followed through on, which made it incredibly difficult to trust leadership. Transparency and follow through on career development could be significantly improved.
