Working at The Taunton Press in Mamaroneck, NY: 1 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Mamaroneck, NY Area

"there is a reason this is still a private company"

What do you like about working at The Taunton Press?

"It's a little like Mayberry. People for the most part were very nice."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Ask what specifically are the short and long term goals of the department you will be running or area you will be working in - get it in writing. Also be sure to get the job description in writing as well."

What don't you like about working at The Taunton Press?

"It is very insular. Business practices that would be acceptable in most major media companies like getting competitive bids for services is frowned upon. Also keep in mind that they are the only show in town."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"There is definitely a feeling that information is closely held. Clear long-term goals are not clearly communicated. Departments run as services to the overall company ie. art, marketing are set up as profit centers with artificially high interdepartmental costs billed to divisions, making budgets higher than industry standards. No real acknowledgement of that issue is apparent. Using those services is mandatory. Senior managers don't seem to have a good background in media integration across all businesses, especially in the developing areas of media."
