Pros

Great Healthcare Benefits. Newspaper Subscription Discounts.

Cons

Working at Erie Times is a nightmare. They interview you for a specific job then once you are hired they assign additional jobs/duties to your schedule and expect you to stay after your shift ends to complete your work overload. Stay away from classified advertising unless you are in dire need on a job. There is a female supervisor who will yell at you, embarrass you in front of your peers, call you in a meeting three times a week and give you dirty looks if you dare call in sick. This supervisor will hold unscheduled reviews at the drop of a hat. You will be sitting at your desk and get an email inviting you for an impromptu review. You will also have a formal review every month. Depending on your race or ethnicity, you will be watched carefully. Every time you take a bathroom break or stop for coffee that will be counted against you. You will be over-worked and underpaid. Erie Times News is one of the worst company to work for. Stay away, for your own sanity and peace of mind.

Pros

Competent coworkers who care about the newspaper, great news environment, slowly embracing digital approach to news, decent salaries still linger despite no raise in 8 years

Cons

Downward spiral of newspaper industry is being embraced rather than fought. Board of directors has little interest in employee welfare. Poor communication between staff and management in some cases (not all) and no efforts made to improve situation. Staff asked to take on duties of retired/laid off employees with no compensation or even work distribution.
