Pros

good field opportunities, coverage of conference, big news events and interacting with world leader and massive companies

Cons

Despite a few bad eggs that recently left the company/were fired, the company culture is still incredibly awful. Lots of backstabbing, boycotting colleagues to get a stories, unhealthy competition. I have never trusted colleagues so little. I am constantly watching my back. No mid-managment available, the newsroom is 80% between 22-26 years old and then older colleagues who do their own thing and only 1 available to mentor others. No one to turn to for issues or advice.

Pros

- people - benefits - office location - screenings

Cons

- Lack of transparency from management. For example, the latest president did not communicate about a departing news anchor—no announcement, just their sudden absence. Similarly, previous leadership failed to address the abrupt departure of my manager, who went from preparing for a major event one day to being completely unaccounted for the next. Poor progression in the company - There are very few opportunities for growth or advancement within the organization. Roles tend to stagnate, and promotions or career development paths are rarely outlined or offered. Employees who show potential are often overlooked, leading to frustration and a lack of motivation to stay long-term. - HR makes poor decisions when points are raised, leading to a lack of trust. HR fails to handle employee concerns effectively or professionally. When issues are brought to their attention, they are often dismissed, poorly managed, or addressed in a way that feels superficial and unhelpful. This has created an environment where employees are hesitant to report problems, as they don’t trust HR to act in their best interest or maintain confidentiality.
