Pros

Health insurance from the parent company was decent and they were very cautious with pandemic and allowed folks to work from home. Nothing more.

Cons

Pennies for raises. After several years ended up with maybe 20 cents more after putting in an extreme effort. Employees used like an assembly line and no matter what you do it’s not enough. Certain management and former employees treated their team and colleagues like trash. Truly a toxic environment and would avoid at all cost.

Pros

Many of the employees are friendly and the studio is nice I’d say

Cons

-Elevator constantly breaks down/is very slow -A dozen cooks in the kitchen but when you need guidance, none of them can help but will only steer you in the worst direction possible -Promoting from within? Good luck -Hire externally because it’s cheap -Hire people with zero experience who don’t even know the terminology at times -Pay is very low. We probably all qualify for food stamps. -Company screams poor even though they’re not -Communication is nonexistent -Photog equipment always breaks -No time to work on sweeps stories -Asking for time off is a nightmare. Prepare to have your request be denied for no reason or not be checked until last minute. -Overall, concerns have been presented to managers and nothing is ever done. They say they care about employee safety but when we express concerns, there’s no sympathy shown whatsoever until one of us loses a limb. -Unfair workload in the newsroom - some do way more than others yet those who do very little get paid a ton. Explain the logic there.

Pros

Most newsroom staffers are pleasant and easy to work with despite the high stress environment of local tv news.

Cons

Newsroom management is bad from the news director on down. Turnover is high and there’s a staffing shortage on a daily basis. It used to be better but management has really gone downhill over the past several years.
