Pros

The five editors on staff are very knowledgable.

Cons

Very poor management. The communication between and within departments is ruptured, divisive and non cooperative. Employees groan about working there and no one is happy. Processes are inefficient; employees are just spinning the wheels. Manipulative office politics in play. Coworkers and management will throw you under the bus at any chance they get to save themselves.

Pros

* Manager committed to processes and improving over time * Feel like suggestions are appreciated most times * Good history and reputation in the industry sectors they represent I feel my experience has been good at Forester Media. I've been treated fairly, had some nice wins that were recognized by my supervisor and management. I've also made a few honest mistakes, which got me in "hot water" with the boss. However, I own my mistakes, am sorry, and it was accepted. I also have a supervisor who's been great at acting as a buffer for our team, and doing what can be done to ensure processes are established and followed so our team can work efficiently. Many of the staff have been around for years. I haven't seen any manipulation or misery the former employees speak of.

Cons

* Slow moving on some initiatives due to getting team consensus (bureaucracy) * Not a whole lot of interaction between departments
