Pros

No excessive hours, occasional early finish, 25 days holiday, Ssp, used to be able to earn decent bonus, but they don’t like that, so they automatically put targets up, even though they are managing rapid decline.

Cons

Poor management, invisible MD, lack of leadership, middle management desperate for results without knowhow, digital chaos managers clueless, they have less knowledge than the salespeople. Passive and aggressive bullying, blatant racism with no obvious punishment. Any other industry would not sit on the fence. Half cocked ideas, poor products dredged up from 15 years ago to go alongside the ‘digital revolution’. Jobsworth managers probably started their careers as decent human beings or on reception, but something about newsquest ne that changes them into odious individuals and liars that you have to make money for. Not any more. Good riddance!

Pros

I can't think of a single one except "regular" (though dismal) salary

Cons

Ageist, Obsessed with "woke" culture, Two-faced, Inept senior management. Complete lack of loyalty, but expects the ultimate from employees even reminding them of their "ongoing obligations to the company" after they have left. Woeful pension scheme which they reneged on twice previously.

A company where its staff are extremely close.

Loosing sight of the future of its business concentrating on the now rather than later.
