Felt like an owner - Human Resources Manager Womack Employee Review

Very supportive and a great way to get exposed to the field.

Not many really, very manageable.

In individual newspaper offices, the atmosphere is friendly, productive and fun. The editors, writers and advertising managers and others do their best to provide a genuine community journalism product.

It's just comical how unqualified, lackadaisical and petty the upper-level management has become in the past few years. In a constant pursuit to inexplicably run the company into the ground, the upper-level management consistently mandates crippling budget cuts, fires/hires random employees on a whim, lack a shred of journalistic integrity/education, demand overwhelming amounts of productivity with no tolerance for overtime pay/bonuses/raises and treat their current employees like indentured servants - ruling with an iron fist. New ideas are met with cease-and-desist memorandums, advertising is viewed as the only purpose of the company, 'opportunities for growth with different newspapers' translates into 'when qualified employees leave we'll ask you to move/commute 100 miles away or threaten to end your position' and the consistent office aura is 'I hope I don't get fired today' instead of 'How can I make my paper better today'. Salaries/benefits are paltry. Tech is outdated. If you don't get the idea at this point, Womack might be good for you.
