Good
An Overall Toxic Work Environment
I worked there awhile ago but only recently found out about this site. The assistant news director, assignment editor and a couple producers and reporters (you’ll know who they are because they’ve worked there forever and don’t seem to have any motivation to grow beyond there) are the ones creating a toxic environment for literally everyone else. I know that at least the same assistant news director is still there. Anyway, a lot of manipulation and gaslighting from them. If they can’t get you to fail for real, they will literally make something up. If you’re going to work there, be very vocal when standing up to yourself because they rely on passivity and talking behind peoples backs to spread these kinds of lies to get people fired. Either that or become like them and complain a lot and make up lies, especially about the news director. (Who couldn’t be nicer by the way) The more racist and sexist, the better. You’ll be promoted in no time. I learned a lot there for my first news job, so I appreciated that. But I was constantly paranoid too.
Sean Mahon
Sean is very disconnected from his staff. Has no idea how to run a newsroom by himself and treats his staff like absolute crap. Sits in his office most of the day, if he even bothers to show up at all. He doesn't even know the most basic stuff about stacking or producing a show and only knows how to micromanage.
Racial Discrimination, Sexual Harassment, An Overall Toxic Work Environment
Sean makes sexual comments about certain employees to his "friends".

Awful
Sexual Discrimination, Racial Discrimination, Sexual Harassment, An Overall Toxic Work Environment
If you are black, do not work here. Blatantly racist employees. The HR director runs around saying the word retarded. Sean Mahon doesn’t have a clue to what he’s doing.
Sean takes several employees to the golf course and tells them “what happens at the golf course stays at the golf course.” He makes sexual comments about the female workers to other employees constantly. He said “do you think anchor x and anchor y go home and sc*ssor each other every night?” To other employees. Management will not do anything about this. It’s embarrassing, humiliating and harassment.
Sean Mahon
He does not know how to manage people and really doesn't ever know what's going on. He can be nice and has good news judgement when he's participating. He gets over-involved a lot.
An Overall Toxic Work Environment
Everyone complains constantly. People will talk about each other behind their back every day. No one has a positive attitude. It's not a team atmosphere. Everyone is out to get each other and cover their own butts. People will tear you down and talk about you.
The station is privately owned, which is nice and there are fantastic perks and benefits to work here, like vacation days and overtime. There are some kind people here but the general environment is dog eat dog and depressing.
