Pros

Great coworkers but little else positive

Cons

Reporters often required/expected to work more than 40 hours a week, but not get OT. Instead, they get time-owed credit, but it is not paid at 1.5x as legally required. After working 12 consecutive days, was called on day off and notified position was eliminated after having been there for two decades. Was not allowed to return to the building to collect my belongings. Only gave one star for overall rating because it wouldn't allow me to give zero stars.

Pros

None that I know of.

Cons

Poor benefits, 70-hour work weeks, constant fear of staff reductions, community calls daily complaining about the lack of news. I could go on forever.
