Pros

Bonuses during a pandemic, stations all over the country so easy to transfer wherever you want to go

Cons

Micromanagers, "must runs" in the broadcasts, dictating the kind of stories reporter do, constant "trainings" that are really just busy work, sketchy hiring practices, don't value employees, terrible pay

Pros

You get to anchor and experience a lot of learning benefits that you wouldn't be able to do in a bigger market

Cons

The salary is very poor. I was living paycheck to paycheck.

It’s an ok first job

Pros

If your fresh out of college they give you a chance. Let’s you have something for your resume and since you end up doing more than what is in your job description you can get skills in a lot of areas.

Cons

No pay raise opportunities you basically have to move up to another position but those are few. They talk about upward mobility but realistically you can just move to another station where they barely pay you the cost of living at a new town. May seem like more money but realistically is not.
