Shrinking and declining publishing, amazingly poor leadership.
Pros
The corporate training has brainwashed the middle layer of management, and the executive layer is vacant of leadership skills, and have no experience with innovation nor product development. Despite the obvious cause of the downward trend (now a decade of decline) the mid layer have been taught to keep smiling, stay positive, think good thoughts, or get laid-off. This is a great experience in the failure of a business model that was never built to serve the public nor its Advertisers. This is a great place to research the death of a profits over people culture, and profits over quality service model. If you can be happy pigeon holed, with barely decent wages, declining benefits and time-off, and you can smile and say positive things 8 hours a day, this could be the place for you.
Cons
This business is not about public information sharing or delivering quality advertising to the Advertiser. There is no leadership, no vision, no direction. The goals and objectives have a lifespan of about 72 hours.
