Worst job I've ever had - Sales Community Impact Newspaper Employee Review

Motivating and supportive environment. Good work life balance. They truly care about all of their employees

Honestly no cons. Management was awesome and welcoming.

The pay was halfway decent for the industry, and some of my co-workers were truly good writers who deserve way better.

I’ve been in journalism for a decade now, and this gig straight up ran me out of my life’s passion into another career. Intense micromanagement from the people above you that will make you think you’re the problem no matter the situation. I will echo what others have said as well, if you ever speak up about something, you immediately become a target and will likely be on the chopping block. As far as actual news coverage, it’s nothing like your typical reporting gig. They will hammer home “CI Style” which includes things 99.9% of other publications don’t do, so you really don’t have any creative freedom. You’ll spend much of your time driving through your community begging sources to talk to you, because nobody has heard of Community Impact and nobody takes them seriously as a real news outlet. If you actually want to report on something other than a new owner at a coffee shop, go literally anywhere else.
