Pros

Supervisors leading our team coach and lead to help members succeed. Their emotional intelligence and investment in us as individuals and as a team inspires most of us to go above and beyond. These managers get it. They value and appreciate me for who I am and for the experience, skills and talent I bring to the job, the team and The Post.

Cons

The Post newsroom is huge and it can be challenging to navigate. Any effort to ensure new hires and employees in less high-profile positions are recognized would go a long way toward being more inclusive.

Pros

The company name on your resume

Cons

* Flagrant discrimination. * Major lack of diversity. * Favoritism. * People of color are first in line to be fired/laid off. * Voicing your concerns will cost you your job and HR won't do a single thing. * HR preaches that they take discrimination "Very seriously" but that's a HUGE lie! They will claim to investigate your complaint but you will lose your job and they'll keep the offender. P.S: Watch how they will try to come reply my feedback with something along the line of: " We take feedback very seriously..." blah blah blah. Or "We need people from all backgrounds to join..." blah blah blah. All lies! I have witnessed some really unbelievable things while working there and I can guarantee you that HR do not care one bit about any discrimination
