Pros

- Very flexible with time and can work from home. - Open to and takes suggestions seriously - My manager helps me build a path for my career - Everyone is helpful, like you can literally find help anywhere anytime. The key is "communication"

Cons

- I haven't been into any team building activity yet so I assume it's not a thing at the Post - No company outings :D - Very rare salary raise and I'm not sure how someone will be eligible for it. Does it even happen? How often?

Pros

Supporting journalism is the one good thing.

Cons

The culture needs improvement, with a strict in-office policy that may not work well for everyone. There also seems to be ongoing challenges with employee retention, which can impact team morale, consistency, and long-term stability. The tech guild and unions made me feel really uncomfortable with coworkers protesting outside the office.
