Times Media Group

Secretive corporate atmosphere where top managers would like you to think they have readers and staff in mind but they all answer to one man in Tempe and nothing matters but revenue. Journalism isn't even attempted, the products are advertising vehicles designed to milk every nickel possible out of local businesses.
If you decide to work for this company, watch your back. They have no problem lying to you and then putting the knife in.
The worst company I have ever worked for.
Oh but, sometimes there are free doughnuts.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Work is consistent. There is a lot of turnover so there is not much positive feedback that I can provide


What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The turnover of employees is the most stressful 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Come in do your job. Go home.  

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Spreadsheets, complaint resolution. Problem solving, customer service.

The reporters, photographers and sales people of this company work their butts off for a company that DOES NOT care about them. Management is so bad that you can go over a year without a performance review or raise. Upper management wants as much work to be as possible for 30+ publications but with a skeleton crew full of people who are repeatedly told to not take well deserved vacation time. If they want to go on vacation, they are required to do twice the amount of work to make up for their absence.

The management is fair-minded and open to dialogue. They try to do little things to make the office a nice place to work -- Bagel Mondays, Donut Fridays, bringing in lunch for everyone on an occasional Friday.
The company continues to grow and evolve and has a good variety of both print and digital products to offer.
There's very little drama at the office, and everyone seems to be good team players.

I have been with the company for several years before it became Times Media Group when they bought us.

I can say it is much better than it's ever been here. The managers here are fair, they listen and it's not perfect, but I feel like they are always trying to make things better. It feels good to be growing again.

There were numerous promotions during my time at this company, but they rarely recognized the individuals who truly earned them through hard work and results. This experience reinforced for me the importance of fair recognition and merit-based advancement in a healthy workplace culture.

Not a good experience.  Clear favoritism.  Very disrespectful.   If you aren't in the inner circle you won't last.  No support or training.  If you're not bold enough to figure it out on your own you won't know.  Don't listen to suggestions. 

Company laid off all senior (age) employees. They paid a salary and everyone worked 60 hours a week regularly. The owner told editors to not use photos of minorities and there were only three minority employees on a staff of nearly fifty.

TMG is only interested in how many papers you can do at once, and how quickly you can do them. TMG puts all of the responsibility on the graphic designers and offers minimal pay.

I started as an intern and have since moved on to a freelancer. I must say, the company and its employees have been great mentors. I feel like my writing has improved greatly. Sometimes, it can get a little overwhelming, but the workload is fine.
