An Overall Toxic Work Environment
Everyone in leadership had an ego and thought of way too highly themselves. Assistant news director was only hired as one so she could earn extra money as the morning anchor. The news directors aren’t experienced at all and have no idea what reporting is actually like and always has an attitude.
Avoid this station at all costs, terrible experience overall.

Excellent. I would even say the best boss I’ve ever had
Working at this station was an incredible personal growth experience. Most of the reporters and producers are fresh out of college but the vets in the newsroom are there to help you grow. Alex was my news director for 2 of my 3 years there. He constantly challenged me and believed in my talent. In addition, the newsroom offers many opportunities to get promoted. The employees become a family, it’s unlike anything I’ve experienced elsewhere, so special. The negative reviews left here are from the same person who was fired for throwing a tantrum and attacking management. This newsroom is THE place you want to start your career at.

Unprofessional and toxic environment.
An Overall Toxic Work Environment
It was terrible. This is, by far, the most unprofessional and toxic environment I've ever worked in. One of the reviews on here explains why. There was very poor management, unprofessional employees, and inappropriate comments made in the workplace on a daily basis. People at the station did not take their jobs or the industry seriously.
This station desperately needs new management. The current staff lacks journalistic integrity. More than 12 employees that worked in the newsroom left within a one year timeframe. This was the most toxic environment I've ever experienced. Management fires their best employees that work hard, go above and beyond, and always do the right thing, while keeping the trouble makers that cause nothing but problems.

Very good work environment. Only bad review is from a diva anchor who was fired after a short tenure, which happened at other stations she had worked at in the past. She was not liked by her peers in the newsroom, and often threw temper tantrums and cussed out the news director and general manager, then complained of a toxic work environment and unprofessionalism which must have been what she saw in a mirror, because that's not what the rest of the newsroom experiences.
A very good station to start your career, plenty of opportunities for growth. there is a powerhouse of experience among the evening team, best in the business. this isn't a newsroom for those who are more interested in "being famous" or wearing obsessive amounts of orange.

Alex genuinely cares for his employees. During my interview, he promised to get me ready for my next job. One year later, I landed a job in a Top 40 market.
