Great Co-workers. Company has tried to grow in other markets without much success and this has created a great deal of financial strain. As a result, there is zero job security, not even for the most qualified and/or loyal of employees. Employees are expected to be plugged in at all times, even while on vacation. This is more of a first job out of college type place and not a long-term career opportunity. If you take a job here, be sure to get every thing you were promised in writing and have both parties sign it in front of a witness. -1.0 NEGATIVE -1.0 NEGATIVE -1.0 DISAPPROVE 6.0 2.0 2.0 2.0 1.0 2.0 2.0 894508 Open Let your employees do what you hired them to do and hold less meetings. 0.0 [] REGULAR No No 6.0 Mar 17th, 2021 09:04PM Mar 17th, 2021 09:04PM Local Voice Media

You will learn a lot. You will work with some very smart people. The motivated, smart employee has room to grow, and could parlay this into better opportunities inside and outside the company. You won't be discouraged from working extra hours!

Allow for flexibility of "the model" to adapt to different markets. Pay your employees at least a little closer to market value for the work they do. Stop pretending to care about employees having a healthy work/life balance and enact policies and practices that actually allow for employees to have a healthy work/life balance. Please stop referring to people who blindly follow you as "drinking the Kool-Aid." It's offensive and creepy and lacks awareness of the origin of that phrase. Local Voice is a company, not a cult.

private:localvoicemedia https://www.glassdoor.com?employer_id=894508 Sep 10th, 2018 12:00AM Open Open Local Voice Sales Representative Wilmington, NC Sales Executive I like Local Voice because as a company, they continue to innovate in what is often a stale media world. Management has always shown a willingness to listen and if necessary to act on things that make the company stronger. Either externally or internally. Fun environment! Forward thinking! Digitally focused! As may be the case with rapidly growing companies, the responsibilities often out pace the size of the staff. Work life balance can be an issue if you are not focused on getting your job done efficiently . 1.0 POSITIVE 1.0 POSITIVE 1.0 APPROVE 1.0 5.0 4.0 5.0 4.0 3.0 4.0 894508 Open Keep with the mission.

private:localvoicemedia https://www.glassdoor.com?employer_id=894508 Aug 29th, 2018 12:00AM Open Open Local Voice United States USA The absolute worst Higher salary that competing media The CEO doesn't know how to run this business. There is no real direction or planning for success, and new products/projects are often launched without a solid plan. LVM hires talented people and quickly burns them out by being overly demanding of their time, not giving a thought to work/life balance and pointing the finger at reporters for stories that "fail" (aka do not get enough page views). Real reporting IS NOT the focus of LVM. If a story doesn't click, it was a failure regardless of the reporting or the importance of the topic. When managers and the "leadership team" are confronted by ground-level employees about their day-to-day struggles and issues, the ground-level employees are met with blame and excuses. The company does not have a real budget for social media, FOIA requests or basic office supplies like cameras that work well. Employees will often find themselves in empty newsrooms because the turnover is so high. Long-lasting employees in a newsroom are those who say longer than a year. The pay, which is a bit higher than competing media in the area, is not worth the drain on your life that working at LVM will be. -1.0 NEGATIVE -1.0 NEGATIVE -1.0 DISAPPROVE 4.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 3.0 1.0 894508 Open Stop being so defensive and listen to your employees.

private:localvoicemedia https://www.glassdoor.com?employer_id=894508 Jan 19th, 2018 12:00AM Open Open Local Voice United States USA Just... don't. There were several helpful people in the company that I worked with. They've all moved on. Pay is above other newsrooms for the most part but it's to get people interested and hope they stick around. Upper management. They don't listen at all. They think they know how to do simple tasks, like social media ads and management, and they don't. They left our newsroom short staffed for months in a market that needed much more than we can could pump out. One of my newsroom colleagues constantly accused me of being "too competitive" to keep me off of their beat, which I was in no way interested in. We were expected to just pump out high-performing content consistently. There's no photographer or social media team so it's really subpar stuff in those aspects. Lots of negative feedback. No matter what you did you were told it just wasn't enough. -1.0 NEGATIVE -1.0 NEGATIVE -1.0 DISAPPROVE 3.0 2.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 3.0 1.0 894508 Open Hire enough people to make it work instead of overworking the few who, for whatever reason, stick around. Pick markets that aren't already overly saturated. Work with your newsrooms instead of pretending to listen. Hire "digital" people that know what that actually means and how to run "digital" aspects of the paper. Get a photographer for each newsroom, even if they're only part-time. It would help LOADS and you'd have a nicer end product. 0.0 [] REGULAR No No 2.0 Mar 17th, 2021 09:04PM Mar 17th, 2021 09:04PM Local Voice Media
