Valerie Sullivan
Val will try to support you but when it comes to issues with other management or co-workers she won’t stand up for you. Everyone is overworked and miserable and when we bring our concerns up to her, she does not do anything but take out those frustrations on us. I feel trapped here.
An Overall Toxic Work Environment
Extremely toxic work environment. Nothing is done to address bullying & mistreatment in the office. People are afraid to bring up concerns because they will punish the person who speaks up via scheduling or story assignments.
I joined this station because I was told it was a great place to get my start, a great place to learn. The only thing I’ve learned here is why people want to leave the industry. I would look elsewhere.

Worst station to work at if you have a true passion for news. Phil is the worst assignment editor ever he constantly puts reporters down and loves to talk about you behind your back. When you complain to Val she does not do anything and essentially puts the blame back on you when it’s not your fault. They play favorites a lot so if you’re not one of their favorites then frankly they don’t care about you at all.
Racial Discrimination, An Overall Toxic Work Environment
This entire environment will suck your passion for news right out of you. I would not suggest working her!!! RUN AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE
I suggest looking else where.

She is very nice, but does not stand up for her employees. She plays favorites and lets the GM call the shots.
Sexual Discrimination, Racial Discrimination, Sexual Harassment, An Overall Toxic Work Environment
The station is extremely toxic due to a lack of leadership in management and the general manager, Al Sandubrae. Al takes every opportunity to undercut his newsroom management and tear down growing reporters. This environment could be a good place for young reporters to grow. Instead, the GM harassed reporters and producers and belittles them in front of an audience. Not a healthy environment. If you want to get burned out quickly in news, this is the station for you.
Many reporters and producers have left the station with a sour taste in their mouths due to the GM’s behavior and treatment. It could be a wonderful place if some of the leadership stepped aside. I would not recommend this station to young reporters. Way too toxic.
