Saga Communications – “A drowning company.

Feb 21, 2009

Saga Communications Anonymous:   (Past Employee - 2008)

Pros

Good people to work with. You get decent benefits and, if you're good enough at selling yourself, can make your way up the ladder in the company.

Cons

Needlessly stressful environment. Most locations are in a reactionary mode, only changing when things break instead of being proactive in fixing problems. Even when something is shown to be broken, it takes too much effort to get enough people behind a change to implement it.

Still stuck in old business models for the communication industry, not willing to take the necessary risks to survive the changes in radio and television. Is cutting staff but not work to survive these changes. Staff was already overworked before cuts happened. Few new business models are being attempted in the company. Those that are being attempted aren't being giving the support necessary to have a chance to succeed.

Advice to Senior Management

Start looking at many more new business models, and don't be afraid to fail in one or two locations in making those attempts. It's better to lose one or two locations rather than the whole company.
