Newspaper Delivery - Independent Contractor - Independent Contractor The Minnesota Star Tribune Employee Review

Amazing work/life balance. Job Security.

More clients per specialist than I would prefer.

I work with a lot of nice, clever people. Working for a newspaper feels good even if the outlook isn't great, there's plenty of good work to be done and engineering management is great here. The money could frankly be better, but there's good time flexibility and the culture within the team is good.

It's the CEO. The problem is at the top. He's erratic, he micromanages, he ducks accountability reality, and the disrespect he has for workers is palpable. He'll impulsively rescind outstanding offers, seemingly without compassion or respect for the peoples lives he's just upturned. He's also burning through talent by giving them insane amounts of work to do in little time, and eroding the culture that management below him is trying to create. All of these concerns have been raised at the top of our lungs, none of them have gotten through. He loves the glamor and prestige of running this paper more than the work, and it's increasingly apparent this institution is nothing more than a schmoozing and self promotion vehicle for his political career.
