Great Company to work for and Great Benefits

Pros

There is room to grow if you show initiative and work hard. The benefits are bar non to most of the companies that I have worked for. I have a large family and the insurance alone is worth the job.

Cons

Feel a little over worked at times, but with many companies, they are always looking at ways to save money. Salary could be a bit higher according to the national averages that I have researched.

Pros

Good stepping stone job, for beginners. If you need to build a demo reel. Sales people make a decent amount of money.

Cons

At multiple stations I've heard the same thing. People in multiple departments all agree they're significantly underpaid for the amount they do. It's frustrating when you see jobs flipping burgers that pay better than you make in a highly skilled position!

Pros

There really is not a single thing that is good for working for the station in Des Moines. Others I heard vary. It's really about management. They say the number one reason people leave a job is the boss not the company in this case it actually was both.

Cons

Poor pay, Micro management, No trust, they are the first company to hold and not pay your bonus. Everyone shows up at 8am and leaves right at 5. The management is young and very shady. No training. Don't expect things to be normal at all. They will mess with your pay. They will lie to you. You will see very high turnover of a staff of 6 sales people they will burn through 20 a year. They hold meetings just to make sure you show back up at 5pm even if your on a sales call. It's not a good place to work the few that have been there have order taker jobs. KDSM is shady in their practice in pricing to customers. Only people that work their don't know any better or are to lazy to better themselves. Please don't waste your time, you will not last. Honestly, you wont want to last there. The reputation of this one in Des Moines is terrible and the work environment is very poor.
