St. Joseph Communications Reviews

Pros

• The people are SO wonderful! Felt like finding a second family • They're glad to have you try new things and expand your role • Working with media is great, you really get to see the impact of your work

Cons

• The print/digital media industry is struggling a bit right now (facebook/google's fault) • Could use a more agile approach to large projects

Pros

It publishes magazines, and there aren't a lot of places that do anymore. Flexible schedule Some really good people

Cons

Pay is lousy and it's nearly impossible to get raises No investment in employees--it's a little thing, but want to know what they give their employees for the holidays? for a year end bonus: a Wal-Mart gift card, and for a Christmas party, they have a gathering in the lobby at 3 pm on a weekday, with some drinks and snacks and it's over by 6. Very poor top down communication Lack the fundamentals of good management: they offer no training and are weirdly kind of proud of that. Very little room to advance.

Pros

A pay cheque...nothing else. Keep looking while working here.

Cons

If you decide to work here, BEWARE. You will never get a performance review no matter how hard you work. They do this to avoid any raises whatsoever. Founder was a great person, but business savvy & smarts are not necessarily handed down through the gene pool. Current CEOs/ Presidents/ VPs/ Executives/ Managers (very top heavy) pat themselves on the back every year at the expense of the sweat of their underappreciated employees. Reviews & raises are out of the question EVER. By the way, I have no doubt that the fluffy positive reviews here are from the executive team or family members. Also HR is a joke here. They turn a blind eye to many infractions to stay in the good books with the "Family".

Pros

Free parking, a pay check.

Cons

VERY toxic environment. Low morale, miserable staff. No raises or reviews for over ten years. You are forced to use your vacation days for company closures. Constant layoffs. No windows.

Pros

Flexible time. Nice co-worker people..team work.

Cons

No raise what so ever. Stuck!

Pros

There are some really good people here if you're lucky to work with them. It's a job, if you're in need of a job and it's fairly flexible in terms of working hours. Management has been trying to improve the workplace environment and morale.

Cons

This is the most toxic workplace I've ever experienced. Many people are demoralized, angry, overworked and underpaid. Few women are in leadership positions and it shows. There is little regard for work/life balance or mental health issues. I heard people in management making transphobic and racially discriminatory comments on more than one occasion. Senior women regularly bullied more junior women (Often to the point of tears). I witnessed sexual harassment and people working to break each other down rather than work together. There is zero investment in staff and employees tend to get typecast and stuck in the same position for years, with little to no opportunity for advancement.

Pros

None. Better than having no job at all? Debatable.

Cons

Terribly run company. Only work here if you have literally no other options and are desperate. The CEO will feed big lines of BS that you are family, but anyone with half a brain or eyeballs can see this for what it is. A con.
