Postmedia Network Reviews

In the 3 years I spent at Postmedia, no one on my team (or any others) received a raise. We were left out of Christmas parties put on by the sales team and upper management. We were micro-managed and treated like children, and any ideas or suggestions were shot down. It was a very toxic environment, where management picked on their employees, made them feel like they were never doing a good job, and there was rarely ever any praise for the good work you did do. There is an extreme amount of turnover in the company, because they don't treat their staff with respect. I asked for learning opportunities and the chance at working in another department to learn and grow, and was never granted the opportunity. I switched departments near the end of my time there, due to the need of a third person to cover workload. And then a few months later was let go due to "lack of work for 3 people". They are losing staff left and right, and the remaining staff is struggling under the workload. My position has since been filled in the last month, instead of me being able to keep my role, or get transferred to another position in the company.

In no particular order: - The company is dying - its debt is increasing and its revenue is decreasing yearly/monthly - Senior Management is paid a quarterly 'retention bonus'; all other employees don't even get a cost of living raise - There's a standing order that any employee can take a payout and leave. Traditionally companies that have this lose their smartest employees, stop innovation and become stagnant - This 'news' company sells its content to the highest bidder; there is no separation between editorial content and Sold content
