Pros

Opportunity to move up within the company. Good reputation in television news. The content isn't sensationalized like other television news programs. There is plenty of training made available and mentoring for those who need it and seek it out. If you stay on top of your game- do a constant good job, stay creative and stay current with the way media is changing-- you'll be fine. The company embraces change and forward thinking. Company is very careful on the candidates they chose to be on-air. This is assuring only those who are qualified and have the potential to excel. Moral is good compared to other companies.

Cons

No on-air wardrobe/hair/makeup allowance. No vision or extended dental. Like many television news stations across the country it can be difficult for those in the "old school" frame of mind to continue on. For example, more viewers are turning to the web for their news content. For those in the company who haven't fully embraced the importance of the web, it can be seen as a negative. I find the company can be slow to eliminate those who aren't fitting the company's vision for a successful news team. Company takes time in hiring, which is a positive, but sometimes hiring seems to be on the back-burner.

Pros

Well-organized and good communication. As a contractor, I found Hearst to be a pleasure to work with.

Cons

I don't have any cons to report other than that the accounts payable is out of North Carolina and can take 60 days to receive payment.
