Nexstar Media Group

Is this your company?

I’ve had a great experience so far, BUT….. - Reporter Nexstar Media Group Employee Review

Pros

Benefits are good. I’ve had the good fortune of working at two wonderful stations. And the end of the day, the day-to-day experience depends on management at each station. And both stations have offered me incredible room for growth. And it was seamless transitioning to my second station.

Cons

Pay is very low. My first contract I made $29k with a masters degree. My biggest complaint is the lack of appreciation from corporate management. The CEO gives himself a $30 million bonus, while everyone else gets zero. We do ALL the work. Nexstar would be nothing without the talent it underpays.

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)
