St. Louis Post Dispatch Reviews in Saint Louis, MO

I have been working at St. Louis Post Dispatch full-time for more than a year

Pros – Small, close knit department
Open door policies with all managers
Family oriented work environment
Ability to make your position your own (within reason, of course)

Cons – No sense of complete job security (but who does get that anymore these days)
Small, close knit department - that's a double edged sword sometimes
Work of 2-3 people and not compensated for that
Lack of communication from upper, upper management on the state of the company

Advice to Senior Management – We are often too wishy-washy on who we're trying to reach with our internal campaigns. Sometimes I feel like we're trying to convince ourselves of why we want consumer to pick up/subscribe to the paper and not necessarily the customer. It can be frustrating and terrifying to constantly worry about the security of our jobs, sometimes a bit more communication about the state of the company can be helpful and calming.
