The Morning Call Reviews

Editorial employees are micromanaged at every turn, and mostly by people who don't have a clue how to actually do their jobs. Rah-rah meetings are often held to try and placate employees in lieu of raises, bonuses and OT. As mentioned above...bonus? What's a bonus? Money in this place doesn't filter past the top tier. No raises in years. Everyone forced to take a pay cut. Most people doing 3 or 4 jobs at once. No room for advancement. Unethical practices taking place here every day. Customers aren't getting papers delivered and digital subscriptions don't work as advertised. We are told to ignore all the complaints.

The company is dying on a vine, and it's all because of poor leadership. The need to make cuts in order to meet a predetermined budget is just part of doing business in corporate America, but when the cuts are made, a reasonable person would say make the cuts based on the needs of the organization and not based on who the department leader likes best or feels less threatened by which has been the case in advertising for the past 10 years. If you're looking for a leader that lacks courage is not liked by the staff and rewards unqualified lackeys to create a department of mistrust, this is the place for you.
