forklift operator

Postmedia

Worked for the company for 6 years. Did not receive a raise at all in this time because the company was in a 'pay freeze', yet the CEO got a $80,000+ yearly bonus plus more as well as other higher ups.  Workload was often more than one person could handle and ended up causing missed breaks and forced to eat lunch at work station. Management changed my shifts to hours I was not available, causing me to have to leave the position.
We had a social committee that organized fun events, theme days, and fundraisers which was nice. Coworkers were pleasant.

Typical day included phone calls and emails from various newspapers across Canada (mostly in need of meeting publishing deadlines). The hardest part of the job was being on call from 9:00PM until 7:am from Monday to Sunday - often getting many calls throughout the night, I learned how to use the team and Management as resources when there were Priority 1 or 2 issues that needed to be resolved in a quick efficient manner. The most enjoyable part of my job were my co-workers - it was a small team of 8 and all worked well together.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Lousy 

all round. Depending on who you are working with.

Work from home. 
Good group of people to be associated with.
Happy to be a part of team.
Have been welcomed with open arms.
Hope to continue in this role and develop it into something more.

The local journalists and editors are fighting a losing battle against a corporate entity that seems it would rather destroy journalism across Canada rather than give the public what it needs; local overage.

old culture having to deal with new media and second screen technologies.


They're currently restructuring the inner culture and business model.

Employees are not valued or supported in any way, you are an expendable cog in a very large wheel. Morale is terrible and management is only equipped to parrot the corporate marching orders. Staff turnover is high.

I have been here for several years and haven't seen much of a pay increase, but the workload can get piled on. Management is pretty good to deal with.

Management is top notch. Very supportive and positive. Team environment is great. Interesting projects. Company culture is comfortable and safe. Would highly recommend.
