Terrible experience
Read MoreAn Overall Toxic Work Environment
EXTREMELY negative environment. Virtually all feedback is negative. Angry, vindictive anchors make the environment even more hellish. I LITERALLY hate coming into work every day. Absolutely zero respect given to anyone's private life. No thought is given to employees' family lives or personal time.
If you're thinking about coming here, don't. Both the news director and assistant news director are EXTREMELY negative. People are routinely treated like crap, yet expected to sacrifice personal time routinely, many times, with virtually no notice. Learn to mirror before coming here as well, because if you have a different opinion, you'll be quickly put in the doghouse. When you hear a statement end with, "don't you think?" You'd BETTER have an answer that affirms the news director's opinion, or else.

An Overall Toxic Work Environment
I would walk into the bathroom to find producers crying. A certain morning show anchor was always a complete asshole.
It’s a good (paid) internship program. You have an opportunity to experience all shifts, record stand-ups, and learn from talented people in a large market. I didn’t even realize how toxic the work environment was until I got my first “real” journalism job elsewhere.

It was good and bad. She is definitely focused on staying #1 and making sure the station is on top at all times. But at the same time she doesn’t care how she treats people in the process. If you are not one of her favorites she lets you know.

I literally hated going to work every single day. I left the news industry after working here because I felt so defeated. I eventually got back in because I realized things need to change and I can’t do that from the outside.
Overall working at this station does teach you how to push yourself and be competitive but at the cost of your happiness and sometimes mental health

Best experience I've ever had. Kathryn is fair, laid back, experienced, level headed and "one of the guys."
Read MoreThis station is a DOMINATE number one. It tops the ratings of all the other stations in the market COMBINED. There is a sense of camaraderie and pride. The folks I worked with were smart, dependable, assuring, laid-back and everybody had a sense of humor. Laughing is what the best part of the job was. The same can be said about a number of the departments in the building. I was sad to leave it behind but had to to advance my career. A shout out to Bob Ellis (GM), Kathryn Bonfield (ND), John Gaughan (Chief meteorologist) and Keira Barnard (the funniest, most caring, open and respected HR lady I've ever met and probably the only one that should be TURN HERSELF INTO HR) for being the best in the business.
