Pros
- Pretty great for your resume. - You can move up the ranks quickly with promotions/internal hirings. - The newsroom itself is a beautiful space and comfortable to work in.
Cons
- Terrible leadership/management team. - No work/life balance. - Absolutely no onboarding. On your first day, you just have to learn through failing fast and constant criticism. - The pay is horrendous. I knew people working as cashiers at Whole Foods that made more money than the producers at WPLG do. - Everyone is out for themselves. No sense of teamwork, or camaraderie. People just do their job and rarely speak to one another. - Desperately in need of D&I initiatives. Almost no women work as executives, or in leadership roles, and the rare ones that do aim to bring down the women around them.
