Much Improved
|
|
Lots of freedom to try things as long as certain important benchmarks and key goals are met. Things have changed a lot recently and the overall direction is much improved.
|
Integration of full time staff and freelance producers and contributors could still be better, but is improving.

Lots of creative freedom
|
|
You can quickly build on your resume and have the freedom to create pretty much whatever you want. You can focus on writing about your interests if you are a journalist. It's a very collaborative environment.
|
The CEO is difficult to deal with. It takes a lot of effort to work here because every employee is stretched so incredibly thin, creating so much content as such a breakneck pace. There are unrealistic expectations of people, especially when pay is considered.

The CEO should lighten everyone's workload or raise everyone's pay. Though there were better systems being put in place after I left, managment needs more structure so that the teams can operate more efficiently.

Good for Short Internship, Not for Long Term
|
|
- Gives college grads a chance to get writing posted and opportunities at making podcasts
- Takes chances in hiring (i.e. posts on craigslist)
- Short work hours
- Interesting and fun co-workers generally
|
- Boss does whatever he can instill fear and power into young, naive post-grads
- Writing/radio/video is kept in a self-contained bubble on the internet, offers little chance to grow
- Cash flow is very cloak and dagger; it's never really clear where the money comes from (aside from the odd podcast sponsorship) though speculation says he is just a sad rich guy who needs a retirement project
- There are hardly any objective standards to the work. If the boss doesn't like something, then it's wrong and you're a bad person for it.
- Copious amounts of snacks and pizza every wednesday act as things you should be "grateful" for to work at a "cool job" when a salary bump and benefits would work just fine.

Leave, retire for good. Hand the company over to employees who have chosen to stay and let them turn it into something vital instead of your outdated baby boomer vision of what a website should be.

Coworkers are EVERYTHING.
|
|
The attitude in the room is so uplifting and kind, because the people who work here are darlings. Everyone is friendly, everyone wants you to do and be the best you can, and there's definitely a strong feeling of camaraderie. Can't say enough about the vibe. The short work day schedule is also great for people who like working in an office setting but don't want to be there all day long. It's also a great jumping off point for someone who is interested in writing or digital media or film (or even radio) but doesn't have a published portfolio of their works.
|
I'm going to be very honest here, if amazing coworkers is enough to keep you happy in the face of a boss who doesn't understand how to run a company and is, frankly, a bit sexist, then you're in the right job. The employees are trying their best to make this a wonderful place, but it has a long way to go. Their feedback and criticism is ignored, and they are treated like incapable children by the boss. Seems like many are only sticking around due to loyalty, which is admirable but not preferable in the pursuit of excellence. Pay is also horrendously low, nobody can live in NYC with that paycheck.
I would advise anyone offered a job that they should NEGOTIATE pay for sure. Don't be intimidated. The boss is not used to people sticking up for themselves, especially women. Show this guy that you're worth more than the low price and superior attitude he's going to serve you.

Let your employees do their thing!! You hired them because they are capable, smart, and passionate people. Don't police them. Trust them. You won't get anywhere by breathing over shoulders and being rude. Why would you hire them if you don't trust them?? In fact, if I were you I would take a step back and watch them revolutionize the company and bring in big number of viewers/readers/listeners. I also can't understand why the job is a full-time in person job. Let employees have an option to work from home, with maybe 2 or 3 mandatory office days instead of 5. All the office environment does is distract people who may work better and more efficiently in solitude. As for the pay: the very low pay would be more attractive with a work from home option, since most people wouldn't have to pay for their expensive monthly metrocards if they could work from home. You should raise the pay, anyway. Your employees work their fingers to the bone and even if you think their jobs are easy (which they aren't), your opinion doesn't matter. You want cheap work, do it yourself.
