Circling the bowl - Journalist Express-News Employee Review

Pros

There are still opportunities to write good, important stories. Occasionally.

Cons

Most of the time of reporters and editors is spent feeding the premium website that has no readers. Management has bled the print product dry and now it's a pathetic shell of its former self. No raises in 8 years, only more work spread out among fewer people. Our top editors are good journalists but they're not leaders and they tolerate too much micromanaging by mid-level editors. This paper is a great place for a young journalist to stay for a couple of years and get great experience, but it's not a place to make a career. More experienced journalists can either let themselves be taken advantage of or find someplace that treats employees with respect and pays them decently.

Pros

Nothing good to say about the company.

Cons

Bad salary. No room for growth. The company is very unstable, tasks keep shifting. Old people in management jobs, with old ideas, trying to keep the status quo till they retire. HR is useless. Constant layoffs, and management is not very approachable. No diversity, almost to none black people.
