STN Media Group Reviews

Where do I begin... 1. Micromanagement to no-management: No direction is ever given for projects, but if a mistake is made they belittle and bully you and feel forced to micromanage you but then return to give no direction. It is an endless vicious cycle. Poor management. 2. Millennials: Discouraging environment for all millennials. Constant bullying, and bottom line make you feel uncomfortable by their nasty remarks that they have no shame in sharing with the entire office. 3. Collaboration: There is no room to collaborate with management. Advice is frowned upon, or even made fun of...again! They are accustomed to keeping everyone like robots where no one is encouraged to be creative or share ideas for progress. 4. Hostile Environment: As previously stated, they have no understanding of how a work environment should be. People are usually forced to quit when situations get out of hand because management is afraid of confrontation. 5. HR: There is no actual HR department, there is no one in the office to go to when you feel attacked or have a complainant. There is no one looking out for the interest of the worker there. Payroll is in charge of "handling" the issues. CA labor laws are constantly being broken here. Be sure to be well informed on the types of laws that apply here. 6. No privacy: You are constantly being watched 24/7 on all the things you do, even when you get up to go to the restroom.

If you're looking for hand-holding, then this probably isn't the place for you. It's very small and with deadlines on top of deadlines the work is very fast paced. Everyone wears a lot of hats so there isn't a lot of time for training. It's all on the job. You sink or swim. And you need to be comfortable working in business trade journalism.
