Pros
- Excels in breaking news coverage - Diverse workforce of talented professionals and all-around wonderful people (excluding management) - Good healthcare benefits (for unionized positions)
Cons
- Management is fundamentally incapable of seeing employees as human beings. Rather than working to make people happy and connected, they try to divide and sow paranoia and distrust. Even the most indispensable people are made to fear for their jobs at all times. - Nothing is communicated. Employees are expected to infer the intentions and desires of management and then berated when they don't guess correctly. Worse yet the intentions and desires of management are extremely fickle and change seemingly at random and without reason. Smart and talented people in all positions constantly act against their own best judgment out of concern for how management might view something. - There is no emphasis on development. Performance reviews don't exist. Positive feedback does not exist. The only time you will ever hear from management is when there is something negative to say, and even then it is usually nitpicky and not actionable. - Story selection is laughable. Field crews have no say in pitching stories, and when news isn't breaking the stories are pure trash. There is no desire to inform and a deep fear of anything that could be considered even remotely controversial or confusing. As a result stories are broken down to mind-numbing infotainment - Nearly impossible to get vacation time approved
