Station's Ratings
News Dirctors
Naomi Morales
Great manager as she listens to employees and give you the tools to succeed and help find solutions to problems. However, she tends go back on her word and your schedule will change a lot as a reporter, photog and producer.
The slogan is "Expect More" and its truly that, they'll expect you to do more and more and more until you are burnt out.
High turnover, lots of deadlines and failed promises.
Slower news market for 42, low pay for market 42.
They steal alot of stories from competing stations. At least 5 stories per day is from a competitor.
An Overall Toxic Work Environment
There should be a place for ratings for the entire station, not just the News department. The entire station has problems with bullying & back stabbing. If you come to the station with experience the "lifers" at the station will try to cut you down like they are the only ones who know everything. They don't want you to succeed and they are jealous of you if you are not part of their inner circle. Training is a joke and if you don't catch on in what THEY think is enough time then that "brilliant" General Manager will begin to harass you so you don't succeed & then if you don't leave on your own you will be out the door. It's obvious from the start that management plays favorites so if you have any type of integrity & sense of self worth STAY AWAY from this loser station because they will cut you down & try to break your spirit. I regret the day I took the job 100% but I survived & am so happy to be out of that horrible environment.
Management needs a total overhaul for any type of improvement to happen but good managers will run away rather than deal with that unprofessional, playground type of environment.

Horrible, he's a bully who doesn't have any newsense.
An Overall Toxic Work Environment
The GM bullies, intimidates, and basically threatens employees to do things. He forces people to put their jobs before their lives, scheduling mandatory "retreats" that are out of our job descriptions , and even if we have other plans we're forced to cancel or our jobs are threatened. The ND is no better, he acts like he knows what he's doing but doesn't. He'll make up fake excuses as to "why we do this" even if it doesn't work and fails horribly.
Do not work here. Apply elsewhere. It really isn't worth it. If you don't want to be miserable, don't work here.
An Overall Toxic Work Environment
Very toxic newsroom. Station run very poorly.
