hit or miss
Read MoreAn Overall Toxic Work Environment
It's really a hit or miss - some of the people are amazing and helpful but there is A LOT of shit talking behind backs. While someone can seem helpful, they'll turn around and talk shit about your work
amazing place to learn and advance FAST with opportunities and positions but there is also EXTREME favoritism. Some people you work with can be unbearable but others also really willing to help.
Not much freedom to explore cushy stories and the ND Russ can be amazing and extremely helpful if you're a decent employee. Lot's of gossip in the newsroom

Russ Poteet
Comes off as a caring employer but really just a gossip.
Read MoreAn Overall Toxic Work Environment
Overall there were good, talented people who came though but management didn't care about retaining talent or the culture of the office. They cared if they were making more money. They would gaslight their employees and get them to turn on each other by spreading rumors.
If you value your time and energy don't start your career at this station.

Russ Poteet
Russ is the best ND in the industry for training and encouraging starting reporters. He takes very little resources and makes a respectable newscast. Expect to be worked hard and be critiqued, but also expect to keep Russ as a contact/mentor for the rest of your career.
Read MoreDefinitely feels a bit like an extra two years in college at times. The MMJ's are all right out of school and live in a College town. Lots of drinking and can get a bit cliquey at times. Lubbock is awesome for punching outside it's weight class. There are national stories that you get to cover because you're isolated in the middle of nowhere.

Russ Poteet
He's awesome and tries really hard to teach and put something good out.
Read MoreHonestly loved working for Russ. Did not like the GM Eric Thomas. Meddled WAY too much and got in the way of good stories. We all tried really hard with VERY limited resources that fell apart frequently... Like everything fell apart... Even in the middle of a show..
