Pros

I'm leaving a review because I'm shocked by some of the feedback I came across in here. I went from the lowliest weekend shift to producing the top show in 2 years- if you understand the brand then you'll get anywhere you want to go, and quickly. I worked in local shops all over, and none can even hope to compare to 7. Yes, there are lots of long hours, and yes, your bosses demand the best out of you. But if you don't like working all hours to cover breaking news, and if you aren't willing to consistently give 100%, you should probably be working in a different field. For me, that's exactly why I chose this career-- and having WSVN on my resume has served me better than a degree from Yale.

Cons

Pay. It's far below what you'd expect for the market size. But my time earning a subpar salary has paid off very well in my next ventures.

Pros

Experience working with in News and learning how to deal with rude coworkers

Cons

This place was such a nightmare. I worked here a few months and I met so many rude people. One of the producers would yell out the rudest comments and one of the Camera guys was a bitter old man. It's an old building, no good benefits. It was a bad experience. I got out of there as soon as I was offered a great position at a much better company.

Pros

Everyone is friendly for the most part, eager to teach, multiple opportunities to learn new skills, decent workload, everyone knows how to do their job properly so there's not a lot of friction.

Cons

It's hard to move up (because no one wants to leave so higher-up positions are hard to get) and the pay is pretty bad considering it's a top 16 market station.
