WFLA

An Overall Toxic Work Environment

Competition matters most here. Couldn’t trust coworkers. ND wants to beat other stations always. Many times, we will be the only station to do a liveshot at a location. Have to convince them it’s unsafe, then get a mouthful and retaliated against for it. Newbies, don’t expect a steady schedule for at least a year. As for big things, this is a station with great branding that is trusted by viewers and gets the job done. Low pay for the market. Overall, not the worst. Not the best. They play favorites, just do your best to be one of them I guess.

Always check on a station retention rate, especially at a station that has a sunny amazing climate and is a top 15 market. If it has all that to offer and most people don’t stay, it may be worth inquiring as to why that is.

Racial Discrimination, An Overall Toxic Work Environment

Work at any station in Tampa, just not this one. Station does not operate like a top 15 station. Employees are overworked in this toxic work environment. Management plays favorites. If you're not one, your experience will be miserable, especially if you're a minority. Tenured employees are insufferable and bully newer employees. Storytelling and proper photojournalism are not valued.

An Overall Toxic Work Environment

The WFLA-TV newsroom is vitriolic and incredibly toxic. Overall, it's a terrible place.

Those wishing to work at WFLA-TV should consult with former or current staffers before joining. The station's current news director, David Ciliberti, is a horrible person and lousy manager. He cannot and should never be trusted. Many people have left under his atrocious leadership.

An Overall Toxic Work Environment

Get called to HR on the regular for petty issues...was told I was useless to the station last week after representing the entire company (Nexstar) at the Winter Olympics.

Not a good place.
