Sexual Discrimination, Racial Discrimination, Sexual Harassment, An Overall Toxic Work Environment

John and Ron are the opposite of leaders. Both hide in their offices and have absolutely no idea what is actually going on beside their glass walls. They expect the reporters know everything when in reality they are struggling each and every day with little to no help. They are liars. They promise you one thing and do not ever, ever go forward with it. You are expected to work way past your shift and provide more content than you actually have. Overall, it is a chaotic situation. Miscommunication is what kills the station. The news director and assistant news director have ideas in their head but do not share it with the actual new staff. When there are breaking those are big coverage events they are often times left out of the communication process and have no idea what is going on until about five minutes before hand. The money and benefits here are luring but do not fall to the trap.

The management will push agendas on you as a reporter. Do not fall prey to this. Especially when Covid struck, they made things appear they were much worse then they were because the news director, who suffers from diabetes, was more afraid of Covid than the average citizen.

An Overall Toxic Work Environment

Reporters were never heard, morale was low, I was asked to do some questionable things as a reporter there. A couple of them even bordered on unethical. They like you to know you're their lackey and it's very difficult to manage up here. Don't get me wrong, it's an amazing station for a small market, but they're very very very full of themselves as news managers as a result.
