Business Outlook

Pros

Great recognition and opportunity to work within the best. Best web technology thinking best cooperation among producers Working with the best journalists A high level of respect for the work completed

Cons

management, management. Web management is problematic. Lots of tension between the "print" and "web" world. Too much of a divide and anxiety. Division of work is a problem. Web producers are expected to put in 50hours of work before they file overtime. It isn't stated but it is understood. They need more staff and better coverage.

I like my job but I'm not sure where it's going.

Financial analyst

Business Outlook

Pros

I feel that my direct managers recognize my abilities and have rewarded me to the extent of their power. I've gotten great feedback, and recognition of my contribution and value to the company, which is good to hear even if it can't be completely rewarded with compensation. My managers are extremely understanding when someone needs to take time off.

Cons

The newspaper business is a failing business, and I don't believe that my increases have been or will be as great as maybe others have been in the past, when business was better. Although, I am confident that my job is secure, in these times you can never be completely comfortable.

A sinking ship, but may survive in the long-term

Account manager

Business Outlook

Pros

One of the most prestigious newspaper companies in the world with a tremendous well of talent. The staff is incredibly dedicated to the mission and proud of their company. Creativity and team-work is very strong. There is also a strong culture of flexibility and work-life balance.

Cons

The Times, like many newspaper companies these days, is faced with a rapidly declining revenue base and high fixed costs. Unlike many other newspapers, the company has not been proactive in reducing inefficient practices and lacks a coherent strategy for the future. There have been too many mistakes made in the areas of systems, back-office consolidation and operations that have resulted in very costly distractions and management energy.
