Great people, great company - Account Executive Journal Multimedia Employee Review

I worked with the most incredible team. Everyone at this place became family to me. Benefits were good and the job was challenging but fun!

There was really no room to move up from my entry level position. Sadly, after the family business was bought by a bigger corporation, morale plummeted and Corporate didn't seem to care much about that like the family once did. my review scores how I felt about past management.

I have worked many places and this is, hands down, the best company I've worked for. The company offers many perks (3pm Fridays during the summer, picnics, trips, event tickets, chair massages, etc) and benefits (adequate paid time off, 401k, and generous health benefits). For a journalism job, 8-5 M-F is a great schedule. The CEO is usually on-site and has an open door policy. They provide regular financial updates so we all know how the different business units are performing. I appreciate the authority I am given in my job--no micromanagement. I feel free to try new ideas at the risk of making a mistake. The best thing about this company is the people. It is definitely a culture of motivated, ambitious workers (if you're not, you won't last here!), but we all have fun, too. I have read unfavorable reviews here about management not caring about employees, but I have not found that to be true. I have experienced only support in every interaction I have had with all of them.

In the publishing world, there are busy times and down times. It would be nice if we had flex time. They allow for a one-hour lunchtime, which you are expected to take. You cannot take a half-hour and go home a half-hour early. While I personally enjoy working in the office environment, it would be nice if employees were allowed to work from home a couple days a week. It would be nice if there were more opportunity for job growth. Once you're in a position, you're kinda stuck there.
