Pros

Colleagues are nice, can write about what you’re interested in

Cons

Salary is very very very bad. The workload is completely unsustainable and the training is poor. There are so many pay discrepancies across every newspaper and they are not transparent about the pay scale. Reach are paying their senior journalists £30K and seniors at NW are lucky to get £24K.

Pros

Constant development and opportunities to gain new skills and experience. The benefits package is fabulous, including flexible working, health care, cycle scheme, holiday allowance and more. The business has forward thinking policies covering baby loss, menopause and shared parental leave etc. I am very easily bored, after 15 years I am still engaged and have opportunities to continue my professional and personal growth. The business is funding a professional qualification for me, and the same opportunity is open to every colleague.

Cons

Top down communication could be improved upon

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible hours, not too strict, employs young new starters

Cons

New staff are paid nowhere near enough for a skilled profession, leaves training up to individual line managers without telling them exactly what training needs to be done. Incredibly tight with expenses - it can take up to 2 months to get reimbursed for things like hotels and long train journeys that you have to pay for upfront. Tight in every sense yet tries to monopolise the local newspaper industry. No sort of private healthcare benefits or decent mental health scheme which you would expect from a huge company where staff are subject to abuse from readers. Company phone and laptop are so dreadful that I do not use them meaning I have to make work calls on my personal phone.
