WMTW

An Overall Toxic Work Environment

This station has positives in the area is lovely to live in, but difficult on the salaries offered. You are paired with a photog everyday- no solo live shots but producers hold all the power and literally run the ship here. If you come in with years of prior experience expect to be ordered (and I don't use that word lightly) by someone fresh out of college. Every shift is live for the sake of live, it is a Union shop so if you are the new hire expect to work every holiday and be "forced" to take shifts despite previous plans or if it falls on your normal days off. There is blatant favoritism among reporters and being difficult is often rewarded with high profile story assignments or best shifts.
