Good - Ticketing Manager Seven Days Employee Review

Lovely office Close team Diligent, hard-working journalists Excellent feedback

Low pay (comes with the industry) Expectations could be a little more clear at the beginning

Passionate owners, fun coworkers, freedom to write what you want, flexible work hours, woman-owned business. Great place to work if you have little experience and want to gain a lot of experience working on all sorts of projects (as long as you are perfect at what you do and want to only work and have no time off). Great reputation in the community.

Owners have unrealistically high expectations for perfection. The Red Room and one-on-one meetings are used to tell you how you are failing as a writer. Every error is pointed out even though you are writing a million things and also doing a million side projects for the company, whether it's extra publications, radio appearances or TV appearances. They expect you to pick up all these extra projects and know exactly how to write them as has been done in the past yet somehow make them all new. They add these on to your normal workload so when you sign on, you have no idea that in addition to your normal workload, which is a crazy amount of writing, you will also be working on all these extra things pretty much constantly. You will work weekends. Always. At some point, even if the work is fun, working 6 days a week is not. Work is vastly underpaid. Owners will expect you to write in a certain tone and style, which is fine, it's their paper, but in my case, they failed to mention that prior to hiring me.
