WOAY

Constant shift in news directors. Very low staffed. Constant required overtime and 6 day weeks.

It’s almost always a revolving door at WOAY because the pay is below average and contracts are only required for the main anchor, weather, and sports talent. I loved the fact this station is family owned and not owned by a big corporation. Unfortunately the family has invested poorly in the station for many years and when I was there it was unorganized. Only very recently did they invest in a new weather system, new website, and new studio set. It’s a good place to go to learn if you can keep a positive attitude in spite of the challenges.

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

Women are paid less than men and anyone who isn't white is treated poorly. Walking through those doors everyday tests who you are as a human and how long you let people get treated that way before speaking up. I left within months. They also hired a guy so mentally unstable he had multiple manic episodes just adding to the hostile environment. They could benefit from a background check system.

If you think you're going to go here to "learn" you're wrong. It's blind leading the blind. Oh btw, reporters start at 16,500. They pray on young people in the industry who don't know better and lure them in with lies. Maybe this site will help someone avoid a dark chapter in their life.
