Pros

Small station, so everyone knows each other. Very lax environment.

Cons

Small station, only directs one newscast. Management takes a very "hands-off" approach unless something comes up.

Great place for self starters. Get a chance to build your own business. Lots of resources to help you along the way.

Cons

The training program was not stellar. It was not structured or designed in a way to train people with little to no television advertising experience. Commission only position.
