Business Outlook

Pros

Management is full of intelligent, realistic, dynamic individuals continually seeking out new opportunities for a print company to stay relevant and competitive in an evolving digital marketplace. Account lists are very manageable, and there are support teams for everything from sales planning to research to marketing. Employee satisfaction is important, and a good work/life balance is provided. Most people at NYT are there for life.

Cons

There are many layers of approvals required to move forward with new, out of the box ideas. Goals are very high and given halfway through the quarter, making it difficult to make a lot in commission.
