Former Employee – worked at Kansas City Star
Pros – Great Company with strong products and services in both print and online. A leader in the Kansas City marketplace. A look toward the future for product development. Online solutions were growing and becomming much more effective.
Cons – The corporate environment and top down management/expectations were unrealistic. With cutbacks and downsizing happening frequently job stability was uncertain. A loss of very talented people was the result of the change in times.
Advice to Senior Management – Keep employees informed of changes that are coming to keep morale up. With uncertainty comes lack of commitment and engagement.
