What don't you like about working at Military Times?

"Management just doesn't care about morale. It's Gannett, and journalists are a dime a dozen, so they have no incentive to care. Management knows they could do more to protect and encourage their subordinates. Instead they reward managers who are slavedrivers and ignore or punish complaints from the bottom rungs."
