Pros

Some of the people were okay. Also, someone kept putting homegrown vegetables in the station's kitchen!

Cons

I applied for a position I've done for many years at other tv stations, one which I can almost do in my sleep. I got that job. Then, before I had even started, I was asked by management to consider taking on a different job, one which I haven't performed in almost two decades. I explained that I would require substantial training for that position since I hadn't done it in so long. "You will be given all the time you need to learn," I was told. "We will evaluate your progress at a later date." Based on that response, I accepted the second job. I moved from out of state for this opportunity. I broke my apartment lease and packed up all of my belongings just to work for Nexstar. I moved my belongings into a hotel since I hadn't yet found an apartment. I was then let go after only 19 days, no reason given. I moved all my belongings from one state to another for NOTHING. I have almost two decades of tv experience but I was let go by Nexstar after only 19 days from a position I hadn't even applied for! Now I am effectively homeless. Now I'm sitting in a crappy hotel room burning away my money hoping someone calls to offer me a job. Thanks, Nexstar! Truly classy people! Seriously, think twice before agreeing to work for these shysters. If Walmart calls you first, accept the offer! DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU! DO NOT WORK FOR THESE PEOPLE!

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)
