Buried stories - Anonymous employee Torrington Telegram Employee Review

Small town paper. Community open to working with paper

Small number of reporters in the office

The pros do not come to mind when Torrington Telegram is in the conversation. This business did not add anything to my resume. All it did was strand me in Wyoming.

First off, I cannot believe it is legal to operate in the building The Telegram has its reporters stationed. There is a very strange, toxic smell in there (and it's not just the employee's attitudes). It almost smells like natural gas. There are several leaks and holes in the ceiling, no proper AC or heating. The building although historical is falling apart and needs upkeep for a healthy work environment. When I first started, my boss was out of the office for one reason or another and long story short I did not meet them. I was let go due out of the blue because they wanted to go a "different direction." This newspaper does not value or hold onto talent. If you are young and trying to get your career started, you're better off making your own newspaper before getting job security at The Torrington Telegram.
