An Overall Toxic Work Environment

It should be a good start for graduations seniors but since they receive no feedback it’s not. Now that the station has merged with a Montgomery station less people enjoy it and the little time reporters have action they aren’t doing hard hitting news because they don’t get help with pitches.

An Overall Toxic Work Environment

Our newsdirector, and the leach of an assistant news director, we're very poor at making key decisions. They barely helped at all with the general newsroom product, forced a short-staffed crew to often do way more work than they should to get something done, and seemingly REFUSED to hire anyone else. Even when candidates came, they never stayed. Top it off with a disturbing lack of training at producer, and you create one of the most stressful and miserable work environments where everyone's moral is rock bottom. There was also a disturbing lack of communication, in the COMMUNICATIONS field

The biggest downfall of this place is a lack of leadership. The man in charge lets the stupid assistant news director run wild, which has resulted in one of the most stressful, tiring, and miserable years of my career. If things keep going the way they air from the leadership side, BOTH Dothan stations are going to go down in flames

The old news director was problematic, but now things are significantly better. You'll have some frustrating days, but overall the station is a chance to develop as a journalist with a lot of creative liberty. The expectation is a package and a separate vosot everyday, so you have to be comfortable running around quite a bit. The community is great and loves this #1 station. Upon leaving, I'm glad I got my start here.

An Overall Toxic Work Environment

The News Director talks about others. She makes it her goal to make everyone on staff miserable at all times. If she were not there then it would be a great working environment. The GM and managers were great to me.

Talented on air team and a great production and engineering staff.

Racial Discrimination, An Overall Toxic Work Environment

This work environment has to be the most unpleasant place I have ever worked before. Management is so dysfunctional, unprofessional and very racist especially towards African American woman. Reginald Jones is the Assistant ND and he is a black coon that does not stick up for anyone or anything and shows extreme favoritism.

This is a market for many that want to get their foot in the door also known as a starter market. However if you can go anywhere else GO. You will repeat stories daily there was a case where four different reporters did the same exact story. Management thinks if your young that they can speak to you any type of way which is unacceptable and unprofessional. The newsroom is a big high school and they don't care about the employees. We have no rain gear, cold gear etc. This place is piss poor. Overall I don't understand how this place is still functioning.

Sexual Discrimination, An Overall Toxic Work Environment

I would only work here if you’re from here. They take contracts way too seriously and give you a hard time about getting out. And the buy-out is ridiculous for what you’re paid.

Micro managed, lack of communication, if you’re good at what you do, a lot of the work falls on you. Lazy employees seem to get rewarded for being lazy.
