Vladimir Araya
Bad experience. He was sleeping with one of the reporters, and used retaliation and intimidation tactics to keep employees "in line".
The overall newsroom was an ok environment. Excluding the ND, the rest of the employees were cordial, talented, and worked as a team. However, the station is extremely under resourced (boasts #1 ratings but had the smallest team in the market and fewer newscasts), and nobody had a set schedule (it changed every week).
Vladimir Araya
He is incompetent and takes things personally
An Overall Toxic Work Environment
Vladimir Araya was sleeping with one of the reporters at the station. (she quit and later openly dated him). He intimidated reporters with threats of final warnings over minuscule infractions like being late 15 minutes one day.
Don’t work here unless you’re desperate. This station likes to position itself as the news leader in the Central Valley, but really it had no resources (only station in town that had no photogs for reporters) and always copies the Fresno Bee and ABC30.
