June Media Reviews

Terrible management. Management consists of the CEO and CFO. They are extreme micro-managers. I'll start with the CEO. Jim is in love with his own voice and opinion. If he can express a point using a single word, he'd opt to use 10 words instead. He has grand concepts and visions, but has zero ability to execute or plan and see a plan through to completion. All of June Media's websites are outdated. And June Media isn't able to keep up with it's competitors. The company is a sinking ship. The CFO is the true decision maker at the company. She's been with the company for over 9 years. It wasn't even a media company when she started. At this point, it's all about self preservation for her. She's the highest paid employee at the company, making more than even the CEO. She micro-manages every aspect of the company, even areas where she has no expertise or experience. Rarely does she consult and ask for advice. She just dictates, never owning her own mistakes but quick to harshly and publicly criticize others. She micro manages editorial, design, tech, sales, finance, and everything else. She's truly what holds the company back. There are some great employees at June Media if given the ability to freely do their jobs they could really turn the company around. But the CFO stifles their efforts. She couldn't get her title or salary at any other company, so she injects herself into every process to maintain relevancy at June Media.

WORST PLACE TO WORK. They obviously are using interns to get free work without paying someone to work there. They use the term "hands on" experience, when in reality its an unpaid internship where you are forced to write 6-8 articles a day. I know that most editorial internships arent paid but ive had 4 while in college and no one them required that much work for no pay.
