Pros

There is a palpable passion for news and broadcast TV. Coworkers are generally nice to work with. Almost all employees are very talented and experienced.

Cons

Toxic Management- the Management views employees as property rather than people. They will schedule you for 14 days straight. Once, I was scheduled to work until 1am, and I was told to come back in at 8am. I told management ahead of time that I would need to come in later bc I needed time to eat/sleep. I was told I wasn’t doing my job if I didn’t come in 7 hours after I left. They micromanage you personally and professionally. Once when I had a week off, they told me I wasn’t allowed to leave the state. Poor pay-compared to other CMG stations, WFXT will low ball you. Lack of Upward Mobility-management has favorites who have been at the station for 10+ years. They are given preferential treatment and schedules to the detriment of other employees.

Pros

There are some great people working behind the scenes.

Cons

Just about everything else. People are leaving in droves over poor pay, scheduling, terrible management. The only people still working here are likely all under some kind of predatory contract that traps them there.
