Corporate asks are unrealistic, actual day to day not bad - Reporter Statesman Journal Employee Review

The technology and ways you can help your clients are cutting edge and so much more effective than the competitors. The pay is extremely competitive even with our nearby metro.

Just like any high end sales job the stress and expectations can be high, however the environment fosters good banter and support.

Working at the Statesman is a good way to get experience if you're starting in your career. I liked all of the editors I worked with in my time there. And, they were able to help me in all aspects of becoming a better journalist.

Because the company is public, many of the decisions seems to be made outside of Salem. The newspaper industry is in decline, and the Statesman has been forced make rounds of layoffs and force employees to take furlough days. Additionally, when someone leaves, the vacated position is only sometimes filled. Many times, the responsibilities are absorbed by others. This affects an employee's opportunities for advancement.
