Nexstar Media Group reviews

Destruction of culture Pay Hiring practices Hours Expectations Nexstar takes legacy companies that provide actual value to their communities and destroys their culture piece by piece. They are turning news companies into entertainment companies and sidelining news. Their hiring practices result in a serious lack of actual talent and forward thinking staff. They do nothing about toxic employees and allow them to chase countless good employees away, increasing burdens on remaining staff. They have all but abandoned actual DEI practices that promote inclusion and actively try to drive long time staff away from the company to save money. The culture that used to be so strong is now weak and lacks the drive to hold truth to power. There is no talent pipeline anymore - no reason to go into TV. PAs are gone, creative services is gone, master control is all off-site, traffic is off-site. Went from being the best place I'd ever worked before Nexstar started implementing its culture, to a revolving door of upper management and constant turnover at the lower levels. There is nobody to learn from anymore and no point in joining this industry. Stay away if you value your health.

Where do I start. Management does not care about your personal life. They promised to train and cross train, never got any training when I was promoted from editor to producer. I do not get paied enough to do other work because my coworkers want to slack off. My tired blew out one Sunday morning (I work very early in the A.M) and I need to figure out what to do with my car I never call out and they threaten to fire me if I didn’t come in and start a show. And the person on call was not answering and management did not want to help me so I had to figure everything out without having a car. My coworkers are rude. No one wants to work together. Was promised not to be on the night shift for long but been in it for a year and they lied to me about that. This company does not care about the people they hire, the paycheck is very little and I am the only female that works on a late shift so I get picked on by older male constituents. No wonder there is a producer shortage here. Management picks favorites.
