The Seattle Times Compensation Employee Reviews

All
Positive
Constructive

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Good medical plan and market based comp

The amount of paid vacation.

Generous polices around sick and parental leave, plus 401k and health benefits

Might be the worst part about working here. We're paid fairly for the industry but hard to live in Seattle on current wages. Harder every year.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Could make more elsewhere but choose to stay here for the growth and people.
