Pros

-Nice office in Uptown. There is literally nothing else good about this company. Run, run very fast in the other direction.

Cons

-Horrific upper management. Totally clueless. They just push impossible goals on you that are complete nonsense then do nothing to help you achieve these ridiculous sales quotas. -Micromanaged -Outdated equipment, CRM, and products. -Poor commission structure. -No upward mobility. -Unfortunately I did not feel that the other employees were welcoming to new people. Everyone is so worried about their own job they have no time for anything else. -Newspaper industry is a sinking ship. -IT department was outsourced to India. Have fun with that. -Just look at The Charlotte Observer reviews on Yelp. Enough said.

Pros

Pays well, good people work in the newsroom

Cons

McClatchy is a dumpster fire. They are more concerned with pushing high-volume content and AI slop than quality journalism.
