Toxic management, Stay away - Reporter Insurance Insider Employee Review

If you don’t have prior experience covering the insurance beat, stay far away from this place. They will hire you, provide 1-2 hours of training & then make it seem like you are incompetent for not being able to handle the responsibilities. Management is so busy with their own work they have no time to train or develop their employees. One boss is so busy they don’t even have time to eat lunch. Micromanagement is rampant. Every contact you reach out to has to be written down on a spreadsheet so management can review it. Management does not follow standard work hours & expects the same out of all employees. Messages take place on the work chat at 2am, weekends & early mornings before work hours. If you don’t stay late (well after the already required 9-6pm) you’re looked down upon and treated as if you’re a slacker. Management just wants the max amount of exclusive stories to beat their competitor, without any understanding how long it takes to build a source network. The only ones that are able to write exclusive stories are the interim EIC (15 years in the business) & two reporters that have been at the company 3+ years.
