So... what's working at Morrison Media like?
We asked one of our staff members and this is what they said.
"It's always fun, always interesting and packed with action. The main attraction is the amazing people, the positive work environment and the great jobs we get to do working in a sports and lifestyle magazine publishing company. It's definitely busy at times but the team you work with and the attitude you bring will make it a breeze to accomplish any task."

The kind of person who would thrive in this environment is:
A high achiever (or you have great potential and are waiting to be given a break). When you do your best or try your hardest - you inevitably succeed. You're able to rationalise an idea, then go to war for it. Someone that thinks like an owner - because a lot time you have the freedom & autonomy to drive it like you own it. An initiator who's also execution-driven. Loves seeing results. Intolerant of incompetence. Hates offices politics, hidden agendas and dumb game playing. You're responsible. Full of common-sense. Logical. Can communicate with ease. You're likeable. Friendly. Can turn ideas into action. You don't spend time rationalising inaction.

At Morrison Media we place more value on what you've done and what you're able to do, than what degree you hold or what you've studied. We're more interested in a person with the right skills, style and approach.

We genuinely care about the people we work with and have a lot fun together both during work and after hours as well. If you're the type of person who takes pride in what you do and gets satisfaction from a job well done, then we want you at Morrison Media and we know you'd love it here as well.
