Mark Ginther has been really great to work for. Supportive, gives, honest and fair, critique, and gives me the creative freedom. I need to be my best on air.
I loved working at KTVN. Just two things to gripe about that made me sick: the GM and the Marketing/Promotions Director, Zac. The GM is a slimy human being that cannot get a hold of his ego. Zac is simply unqualified for his position. There’s plenty more to say about him but let’s just leave it at that.
My time at KWQC was nothing but miserable. In the time that I was there, we went through 4 news directors in my less than 2 years working there. If you are expecting growth in your career, I suggest you go anywhere besides KWQC TV6 news as they traumatize their employees with their lack of communication and leadership. I have never worked for an organization so unprofessional, disorganized, and led by a team of managers who refuse to do work. They sit in the conference room all day having “meetings” and nothing productive comes from the closed door “meetings” because they are not talking about anything productive, they just gossip about employees. I have never felt so disrespected and taken advantage of. My time at KWQC TV6 News Station in DAVENPORT, IA was an experience I hope I hopefully can forget. As a minority, I was met with racist comments from a senior anchor and my news director as well. I find it very unbelievable that a station as poorly run as KWQC is still operating after losing 13 employees in less than 1 year. Mind you, we also went through 2 general managers. The current general manager disrespects women and doesn’t respect minority culture. He also has no respect for the only black television show in this market that is at his station. Employees leave meetings crying because of the disrespect and their inability to train. I really want to emphasize that they do not communicate. So if you decide you would like to be part of that toxic environment, just know you will have an assignment manager that will change your reporter story as you are in the middle of an interview for the reporter story she originally sent you on. And it will be your fault. 0/10. Highly don’t recommend! Thanks!
