Great local management team, good people to work with, interesting and diverse digital platform to sell, could be a great gig for the right media rep

Cons

New York dictates how the Seattle business is run, doesn't give local management the opp or freedom to do what they think is best

Pros

Friendly employees. Relaxed atmosphere. Nice building. Easygoing managment for the most part..

Cons

Overall Weak Managment. Station run by just a couple of people. Employees sometimes not respected. Micromanaged by Hearst Corporate in New York. Very bottom line, body count focused. Salaries have been frozen and benefits have been greatly reduced.
