Chicago Tribune Employee

"I was fortunate enough to be hired by the Chicago Tribune shortly after graduating college. I have learned so much from my team and am so thankful for them. We continue to work together and build each other up every day. My manager is the an exceptional leader and conquers the balance between being a superior and being relatable on a personal level. Thankfully, the company approved that I work remote when I continued to grow and change in my personal life. I am grateful to work here and wold recommend to others."
