Pros

401K match. Good probability to be hired right out of school.

Cons

Local television at its worse... A lot of talk about innovation, but no direction on how to innovate. Corporate folks travel through local stations around the country giving aspirational speeches about how to do things differently- the moment they leave, the local stations are still being held accountable by old standards such as overnight news ratings. This makes local management fearful of trying to disrupt. Poor... just poor. They have cut staff to a minimal at the local level, and those that are left behind are young, underpaid staff, with little experience.

Pros

Flexible work environment - hybrid

Cons

Heavy workload, way below market compensation for the amount of responsibility, very limited advancement opportunities & uneven workload distribution among teams. In my experience, leadership made repeated statements about promotion opportunities in career growth that ultimately did not materialize. I felt that expectations were set that weren’t followed through on, which made it incredibly difficult to trust leadership. Transparency and follow through on career development could be significantly improved.
