Restorative Era - Director of Finance and Operations Orion Magazine Employee Review

Berkshires offer a nice area to live arts and culture nearby main editor is very capable

Recruited out of college and was promised a place to live. Was not provided that and the salary for working full time was less than minimum wage! They would not let you get another job even part-time and insisted that you work waiting tables or nothing. Staff were rude, lazy and did not work! The assistant editors did not work and often lied and escaped doing actual work Owner was more interested in arranging furniture and how employees dressed than in getting any actual work done Very competitive atmosphere. Lot of work to be done but no one is doing it! When you contribute, assistant editors and the photo manager felt threatened. Cliquish environment. Political and argumentative constantly. Very bad financial management. Employees were not paid in the winter but new accessories were bought for the location! Not as advertised.

contacts to well known environmental writers great town although small good chief editor

negative work culture lots of fighting dysfunctional work environment negative leadership low (non-existent pay) below minimum wage lots of promises that were not kept management would argue so much, no work would get done bad tempered owner drunk writers at events owner threatened staff constantly
