HAMILTON SPECTATOR

HAMILTON SPECTATOR Employee Review

Pays well, but staffing cuts have exposed toxic workplace culture

Copy Editor (Former Employee) - Hamilton, ON - 22 March 2021

It was very cool to work in the Spectator building for just over a year. But elements of the workplace culture can be pretty brutal. Some 'lifers' including a sports editor who is an out-and-out bully bring the place down.

Pros

Strong union

Cons

Old thinking

Good place to work but future of all print media is in doubt

Copy Editor, journalist (Current Employee) - Hamilton, ON - 2 December 2019

Good place to work but future of all print media is in doubt. Good pay and benefits but few if any people being hired. Job cuts are happening now and likely more in the future

Good starter role

Accounting Clerk (Former Employee) - Hamilton, ON - 8 January 2023

Good beginners role. Room for movement up. Can be a bit clique-y. Benefits are great. Pay is average. Vacation is average. Great place to start, gain some experience and then move on

Great job

Production Supervisor (Former Employee) - Hamilton, On - 11 April 2020

The job was great stimulating challenging I loved it but I was also hated by most that worked there because I was an aggressive achiever with a very great work ethic
