      90% of Managers have been purged since company taken over by BH Media. Decisions are all made in Roanoke & Omaha.

      Pros

      Recently refinished the bathrooms & added vending machines.

      Cons

      No shots at promotions, local employees not considered for leadership roles. They hire from Omaha, Iowa, Las Vegas and treat employees like they know nothing. Morale at an all-time low, turnover near 100%. Circling the drain and the Publisher thinks the employees believe her lies. Getting ready to hike commissions on sales reps and outsource jobs next. No growth, only salary purges.

      Pros

      Good people on hand at the Progress, providing solid coverage of both the rapidly growing Charlottesville area and the University of Virginia community.

      Cons

      Many of the problems confronting daily newspapers today as the shift continues from print to online media; the paper has bolstered its online presence, but still is trying to find its niche. The 2012 sale from Media General to Berkshire Hathaway hasn't had an appreciable editorial effect. As is the case at most newspapers, pay is relatively low.

      Excellent hands-on sales experience available, but moral/ethical concerns distract and disappoint

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Flexible work hours, no micromanagement of day-to-day tasks by managers, generous policies regarding time off, excellent opportunities to meet and do business with various industry leaders.

      Cons

      Never-ending ethical and moral offenses from management and co-workers, complete lack of morale amongst employees, constant policy changes, lack of communication between management and employees.
