PUTNAM COUNTY SENTINEL PDF

Generally speaking, the downfall of this company is management. They expect sales to knowingly upsell to customers who already have a precarious standing with their bill and then hold the salesperson responsible when said customer can't or won't pay. Turnover for both outside sales and graphic design at the Sentinel and other DHi Media properties speaks to the unsupportive and sometimes downright underhanded nature of management's behavior toward lower level employees.Īlso, the fact that salespeople are expected to act as debt collectors for customers is extremely unprofessional. The pay for a sales position does not compensate for the soul-sucking nature of the duties of the job itself or the environment. All creativity and flexibility is squashed in an effort to improve DHi Media's bottom line. The backstabbing and passive-aggressive nature of sales managers in this company is disheartening. Treatment of lower level employees (nearly anyone who isn't a sales manager or above, in truth) is ruthless. This workplace is filled with negativity. The Putnam County Sentinel is a division of DHI Media, and offers a competitive compensation package as well as paid vacation.ĭHI Media is an Equal Opportunity Employer.In interviews, management pitches this workplace as drama-free with a family-like atmosphere, and it couldn't be further from the truth. Qualified candidates, please provide a resume, and three writing samples. High ethical standards for honesty, integrity and accuracy.
