How employees describe working at Star Tribune
Report both sides of issues
Email communications/questions with the executive in charge of customer service and home delivery remain unanswered. Not responding to a customer's concerns is poor customer service and reflects badly on the executive. Improvement would be to respond or to follow up with whoever was assigned to.
No diversity in leadership, boys club.
You get your PTO as one lump sum at the beginning of the year even in your first year.

If you could make changes, how would you improve the culture at Star Tribune?
Top Employee Response
More people striving to be the best they can be would be nice. Since it is a large company, there are some people who just coast when you know that they're capable of much more if they wanted to.
What part of Star Tribune's business is growing fastest? What part is having difficulties?
The digital product is definitely growing fastest. This includes the website, mobile applications, etc. This is how people are choosing to consume media as time goes on and we're having to adapt quickly. The circulation section is contracting, for sure. This has projected loss going into the future, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's losing money.

It really depends on the department you're in. Some departments are very loose and fun, much like a startup and others are very stuck in their ways like what most people think working for a large corporation is like.
