WTXL Reviews

Because of management the workplace was not professional and always on edge. Almost every day when I pulled up to work, I prayed to God if I can make it one more day. The News Directors feed off of negative energy. There were a lot of favoritism, petty and non useful feedback, and (in my opinion) mental/emotional abuse. The news directors were extremely quick to blame and say negative things to an employee instead of listening to the feedback given to them (or just simply listen) and proceeding with a positive solution. If you ever expressed your concerns on their behavior or actions, they would make sure to make your day/week harder than what it really was. This was the most dramatic, difficult and unprofessional work environment I've ever worked at. Before I was hired, I heard a lot of former interns and employees have the same problems, but finished and move on to the next job. I thought it couldn't be that bad, but boy did I have a hell of an awakening. You had former employees pay to get out their contracts, just to recover from the torment that management provided. The current News Director had these same issues at his last station in California when he was Assistant News Director. The Assistant ND (at the time) has a reputation of being rude with a handful of coworkers, and look down on people who are beneath her, position wise. If management is still the same, save yourself and mind, and GET OUT! I can say I'm much happier than I've ever been not working at WTXL anymore. My future is looking very promising now. No more worries of verbal abuse, inappropriate behavior or of them trying fuel "bad blood" among employees and myself. The storm is finally over.
