Pros

Benefits, networking, fast-paced. This is the television industry. Working in a news station never gets boring and constantly gives you something to talk about at the dinner table. The social media producer (or digital content manager, depending on the station) is centered on the website and social media platforms. If you already spend a lot of time on these, then the position is perfect! The digital team has great communication and means to help those at other stations! SBG is very focused on keeping their employees happy (and healthy!) by communicating.

Cons

Honestly working in media is meant for certain people. If you can't keep up with the news, follow a lead/news tip, then it isn't for you. The other con might be the constant moving between contracts and employee turnovers, but that's part of the industry and mostly applies to reporters.

Pros

Upgraded equipment and allowed multiple capital projects. Good health insurance, Dental and vision.

Cons

Seemed like corporate level personnel were replaced regularly which made it difficult at times when you needed to communicate issues.
