-Salary is not up to par with industry standards. This is largely due to the fact that the newspaper business model is going through some very hard times.
-No flexibility in moving around the company (ie. if you work in Advertising, it isn't very easy to move to the Newsroom, unless you know someone).
-Lack of employee perks, such as employee parking. Even usage of the employee gym comes with a fee, which is automatically taken out of your paycheck.
-Lack of formal networking events and/or mentorships, which would be a great benefit to all employees.
-Line managers focus so much time on the problematic employees (this is due to presence of the Guild union) that no time is spent in growing the employees who truly want to see the organization succeed.
-The current climate is very charged. So many individuals are losing their jobs, which has stifled the moral of the remaining employees. The remaining employees are asked to take on additional duties with no additional manpower. These additional duties coupled with an attitude of 'Who's next?', has crippled promotions as well.
-Many organizations love to protest and/or picket out front of TWP building which can turn employee arrivals and departures via the 15th St entrance into a BIG hassle.
-Many senior employees are only 'holding onto' employment here as they do not want to lose their retirement or pension. This makes it extremely hard for the younger staff members to see any potential for long-term growth.
