Los Angeles Times Response
6y
Thank you for taking the time to post a review. If you are currently an employee, please consider bringing these concerns to HR or, if applicable, your union representative so that they may be addressed. Many projects are underway to address items you have mentioned. Free parking is available to all employees and a new, convenient parking structure is under construction. Filtered drinking water, coffee and tea are also provided to employees. We have received hundreds of insightful responses to the two all-employee surveys conducted this year, and managers and HR have been collaborating over the summer on a comprehensive pay review. We’re concerned to hear about the cultural issues you have highlighted and would like to be able to work with you directly to address these. Please be assured that your HR Partner is always available to support you with any concerns you have and, if you’re not sure who to contact, details are available on the HR page of the Intranet.

Pros

Good focus on long-form writing and journalism; lots of lovely people worked here and there was a nice community outside of the office; felt like a legit civic institution that people in L.A. care about.

Cons

Uneven management with unclear long-term priorities and conflicting top-down mandates. Not very willing to collaborate with the union.
