How employees describe working at Tampa Bay Times
The interactions and conversations were amazing. Sometimes it did not feel like an interview.
Great place to work, super high standards, great colleagues, still more resources than many comparable regional newspapers, but far from immune to the challenges facing the industry. In a market that is getting more expensive, salary is always a concern.
A perfectly fine place to work, but never know when a pay cut or round of layoffs will cut your time short.
Hire skilled, professional copy editors.
It was a good place to work
