Pros

Its the number one watched station in the city...and the staple of aggressive news in the country. A job here is FABULOUS on your resume. The General Manager kept morale high when the country was in a recession. It was the only station in the market that kept old equipment to avoid layoffs.

Cons

Not a family unit. There are cliques here and there...but no feeling of family. You do as you are told, despite whether you are right. Your opinion may not be valued unless you are in certain important cliques. Mistakes are NOT learning experiences. You should be on point every second with 0% mistakes. Lots of blaming and no accountability. Its rare to see someone respect and/or accept another opinion.

Pros

I'm leaving a review because I'm shocked by some of the feedback I came across in here. I went from the lowliest weekend shift to producing the top show in 2 years- if you understand the brand then you'll get anywhere you want to go, and quickly. I worked in local shops all over, and none can even hope to compare to 7. Yes, there are lots of long hours, and yes, your bosses demand the best out of you. But if you don't like working all hours to cover breaking news, and if you aren't willing to consistently give 100%, you should probably be working in a different field. For me, that's exactly why I chose this career-- and having WSVN on my resume has served me better than a degree from Yale.

Cons

Pay. It's far below what you'd expect for the market size. But my time earning a subpar salary has paid off very well in my next ventures.
