Star Tribune – “Bright Star dimmed by micro-management”

Pros

multiple products to sell. company is the #1 media outlet in the twin cities. people, including the managers, are all pretty cool.

Cons

intense micro-management is the biggest challenge. sure it could be worse, but the continuous reports that are demanded are redundant and a complete waste of time. everything that is asked for is either inconsequential, or could be gathered by the managers themselves. its as if there is a level of manangement that needs to create this 'busy work' for the lower level employees just to justify their own jobs. other than that, its really a pretty good place to work. sad that about 70-80% of the sales force is looking for other jobs.

Advice to Senior Management

enough with all the reports and itineraries. let us get out and do our jobs.
