Pros

Thank god my coworkers are good people. They are part of the reason I still get out of bed to go to work besides needing the money.

Cons

First off, I make way below the average of what a producer in market 68 with my level of expertise should be making. I make poverty wages. We are not fully staffed because my boss dragged her feet to hire people and now we have lost that money in the budget. Currently, I producer 2 shows and have not been compensated properly for the increase of work on the same hours that would normally do my one show. I only get 3 hours to produce both and it’s so much more stress inducing that it would normally be, because of the low pay. We also do not get very good resources. The only way we get content is from AP, our ABC media partners and other stations in network. That isn’t much, that is fairly low by industry standards. We also are tied in what we can and cannot cover due to us being so short staffed, and the fact that the company likes to tie our hands due to not wanting to get sued on things.

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)
