Argus Media reviews

This company needs to have better communication among all areas and regions. They lack of technology to support their publications and internal systems. I have been in this company for 5 years and I have seen the implementation of two CRMs and neither of them have worked correctly. There is too much turn over and no one responsible for HR, performance reviews have been a joke. They good employees are already leaving the company and there will be more to come. This company doesn't have an open door policy between upper management and employees. No one can be honest because there is fear of intimidation, criticism and censure. Morale is very low.

If you're a journalist aspiring to be a reporter at a big newspaper, you might have the chance to get hired at Reuters or Bloomberg writing about commodities one day. But at Argus you'll mainly be asked to get price information about commodities and examine the most niche aspects of a given market. You won't be asked to write exciting stories of the sort you read in big newspapers. Argus generates its revenue from providing information about the prices of over-the-counter commodities contracts, not from stories that provide general information. If this is ok with you, then Argus is a great place, because it provides good job security and comfortable hours. If you want to climb through the ranks as a journalist though, then you'd best use your time at Argus to gain experience in commodities and then find a commodities reporting job at, say, Reuters, or instead go to journalism school and get an internship at a big news organization.
