Dock Manager - Dock Manager Tennessee Valley Printing Employee Review

Independence primarily. Very little micro management/oversight

Sitting around when paper is running late/press b breakdown

Super laid back atmosphere, good people to work with for the most part, guaranteed FT hours, 2 weeks paid vacation, 2 paid personal days, 5 paid sick leave days

Starting pay is very low when compared to what other printing companies pay their press operators, absolutely no advancement within the company, the newspaper industry as a whole has taken a nosedive with the rise of online news content, the people that make the business decisions and decide on the company's direction seem to think that an outdated and obsolete business plan that may have worked for the newspaper industry decades ago will continue to bring in positive revenue if they make cuts in their expenses (mainly labor and wages). Although, the pay is mediocre, I love my job, but if the decision makers don't make changes and pivot far away from their current business model, this business will not be here by the end of the decade. Period.
