Good experience, bad pay - Production Assistant KVRR-TV Employee Review

Generally a very flexible and fun work environment if you work with lower level employees. There is a strong team mentality within the production crew.

As soon as the fun wears down, problems throughout the company become very apparent. Management looks down upon people and treats them as mere replaceable objects and not as the truly hard-working and talented individuals that they are. Management is completely incompetent and has no business running a TV station. Our pay was terrible, I went into work there already with experience and was offered $7.25/hr without the opportunity for raises since mid-level managers aren't allowed to give raises. I took the job because I was in school and needed extra money. Also, as you move up in your position to learn new things, you aren't equally compensated even if you are doing the same job as someone who is full-time. Your pay literally WILL NEVER increase.

-Lower level employees are easy to get along with

-Very low wages -Extreme penny-pinching mentality from upper management -Not nearly enough resources provided from management to do successful work -Equipment in disrepair on constant basis, sometimes never being fixed -Employees feel little interest to succeed due to lack of company support -Top decision makers have zero operations knowledge and experience -Management makes unilateral decisions without consulting employees affected -Problems can persist repeatedly without ever being addressed -Basic employee concerns often treated with disrespect and impersonality
