Pros

Nice work environment. Nice people to work with. Opportunities to move up in company. Always promote from within.

Cons

Does not have good pay. Only give 25 cent raises and those are only given once every six months to a year. CEO told us that the only way we would be able to make any real money is if we went to an oilfield company, so as far as pay goes unless you plan on working at a second job or unless you live with someone that makes more money than you, this would not be the company to go for. You really would be better off going to another company. The hours are also either extremely early in the morning for the morning show (2am-10am) or extremely late for the night show (2pm-11pm). It is a fun environment, but I would say research broadcasting companies and ask questions about pay and raises before settling on one as a job.

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)
