Pros

Good look at a job in the news industry. A lot of great people to work with. Savannah is a fun community to work in. It is a good middle market station to get your foot in the door. Willing to let you train into other positions however it is on your own time.

Cons

Very low pay especially for someone with a degree, servers easily make more. Long demanding hours often starting at 4am which make it hard to be on a normal schedule with the rest of the world, much less have a social life. However anyone will tell you this is what you sign up for when you get into news. While some of the people are great a lot of the employees can be rude or stand offish. They provide opportunities to advance but the pay is still pretty weak.

Pros

The people that work in front of the camera and behind the camera are passionate, and dedicated to being "The Southeast News Leader".

Cons

There are never re-runs. The news is always changing and there is no time for sitting around.

Pros

Is number one in ratings because of legacy. Has some good people who work there. Unfortunately none of them are in management.

Cons

Not many growth opportunities. Pay is low even for a low paying industry. Raised were cut in half this year. They change the criteria for a bonus so often it feels like a moving target.
