Pros

Had the opportunity to make a real impact on the community alongside a few people who were truly passionate about making a difference.

Cons

Very little respect for marketing from inside station to company-at-large -- our team always blamed when ratings were lower than expected. Station leaders also flirted with conflict of interest by taking meetings with community organizations instead of running hard news stories that focused on them. And the new CEO, who has no background in journalism, tried running the organization like a Temu Elon Musk.

Pros

Flexible work environment - hybrid

Cons

Heavy workload, way below market compensation for the amount of responsibility, very limited advancement opportunities & uneven workload distribution among teams. In my experience, leadership made repeated statements about promotion opportunities in career growth that ultimately did not materialize. I felt that expectations were set that weren’t followed through on, which made it incredibly difficult to trust leadership. Transparency and follow through on career development could be significantly improved.
