Life on the Titanic - Senior Content Producer Tribune Interactive Employee Review

Smartest group of people with whom I've ever had the pleasure of working. We increased revenue, drove innovation & hit goals together.

Being there during a bankruptcy ESOP buyout was an awkward, low probability of success situation. Leadership came in from another industry and unsuccessfully tried to apply methods that worked elsewhere to our multiple LOBs.

I was able to negotiate a lot of time off. I also was able to maintain a great work/life balance. The colleagues at my level were great when I started.

The industry, the management, and the culture of cronyism which ends up in management that are poor leaders. 1- The industry is clearly suffering. There are a lot of ideas, but very little productive action to stop the bleeding. 2- The management runs this huge company as if its a small company of 50 people. The structure of the company is so confusing you won't know what to work on, who to work with, or what is expected. The only people with meaningful work are "buddies" with the management that came in. 3-If you aren't buddies with upper management, its hard to advance or really feel at all safe in your job. You will see other clueless employees advance and remain at the company while truly talented and dedicated colleagues are laid off.
