Pros

- Real world experience - Great coworkers - Not confined to one station. There are opportunities to work on both the news and sports stations if you want. So if your a sports guy, but your primary role is on the news station, there will be chances to work on the sports station and vice versa. - Fantastic management. Both station directors are the nicest people I have ever met and still in contact with them today.

Cons

- PAY IS HORRIBLE! Only work here if you are in school or if you need a second job for extra income. - Forced to stay under 30 hours, unless otherwise approved by management - 0 creative control/input in the shows you produce. Talent tells you what they want and you are forced to follow it, regardless if you think it sounds good. It's the talent's way or the highway.

Pros

The staff and peers are great. The company used to be great before COVID. Multiple food trucks, office events, etc. Great work life balance.

Cons

When you get hired, there are no raises, ever. Not even cost of living raises. You hit your ceiling day one. PTO is given annually up front. This means you don't earn it over time, so if you leave the company, you don't get that time off as money. You lose it. And if you don't use it for the year, it doesn't roll over. Company is in a financial crisis and has been laying people off since February. They have been doing it in small groups over time so that it doesn't hit the news. Senior leadership are a bunch of crooks. Out of the 4 years I was there, only 1 bonus was paid out. The other years they didn't pay because of COVID or the economy. Also, they stopped matching their 5% 401k matching all through COVID. Brought it back for a few months, then turned it back off again because of their negative financial situation. Toxic leadership.

Pros

Maybe you will meet some future colleagues to pull somewhere else?

Cons

The C-suite is so disconnected across the board and tries to pretend like they care about you. THEY DO NOT. It's just a ploy for you to stay and increase their bonus while you do more work, for NO pay increase, and not even a single thank you (which costs nothing). Look at the most financial report here. So highly overleveraged, it is about to be delisted on the stock market. This should tell you all you need to know. Look at the recent reviews as well... A new guard has arrive and has made this place utterly miserable.
