Pros

People, health insurance, PTO, unique work environment

Cons

Destruction of culture Pay Hiring practices Hours Expectations Nexstar takes legacy companies that provide actual value to their communities and destroys their culture piece by piece. They are turning news companies into entertainment companies and sidelining news. Their hiring practices result in a serious lack of actual talent and forward thinking staff. They do nothing about toxic employees and allow them to chase countless good employees away, increasing burdens on remaining staff. They have all but abandoned actual DEI practices that promote inclusion and actively try to drive long time staff away from the company to save money. The culture that used to be so strong is now weak and lacks the drive to hold truth to power. There is no talent pipeline anymore - no reason to go into TV. PAs are gone, creative services is gone, master control is all off-site, traffic is off-site. Went from being the best place I'd ever worked before Nexstar started implementing its culture, to a revolving door of upper management and constant turnover at the lower levels. There is nobody to learn from anymore and no point in joining this industry. Stay away if you value your health.

Pros

I think your enjoyment with this company comes entirely from the local team you work with. My team is GREAT - For our size, we're a very high performing station in the company and the best in our market. The sales department has its hiccups but works really well together when it matters most. If you're aiming for career growth you need to be strategic with what position you start in. Pay sucks at first but you get an annual raise and I've gotten multiple performance raises (I've worked here for 5 years and I'm making almost 13k more than when I started). Work life balance totally depends on your job. - Health insurance - Great (specialized) experience - Local station recognition - Pretty stable employment (in the sales department, at least)

Cons

- Layoffs in other departments - Corporate decisions make work much harder fort he people these decisions affect - Acquisition of Tegna - PTO policy could really use a change (especially for Holidays)
