Where do I begin.... If you like being wayyyy underpaid and overworked 110% busy all the time come to Encompass. If you like having no place to train or a station to work on and working with cheap outdated gear. Then come on over to Encompass. I have been in this business almost 30 years and took an entry level position here. This place needs clear career paths for its employees yet Encompass has none. Ive never seen a company where the Assistant managers know more than their own managers, the supervisors might as well be operators because really thats all they are is glorified operators not sure what they do. I was put into a 6 week training program where I trained with the "training manager" maybe two hours out of a total of 4 days. Encompass does things very cheap and does not care about its employees what so ever, they don't even care about their clients. I have never seen a company operate this way. I really feel for the ones that actually do the work ie (some of the managers and all assistant managers/coordinators). Last but not least the big rumor from the new "chief people officer" who btw I never saw nor met, was no more raises were going to be given. Encompass has zero incentives, I was told that all employees even had to pay for their own food at their last years Holiday party's. UNBELIEVABLE. Not to mention the place be run down AC and power issues and a lot of new folks that talk like they are from the ghetto and the first thing out of their mouths at the start of their shifts is "whats for lunch". Alot of hats and baggy clothing. Alot of new operators, Encompass has become a revolving door, I saw several employees leave in the short time I stayed at Encompass, only people who had been here for years knew what they were doing, supervisors had no clue, some of the managers and senior managers knew nothing or atleast the ones I met didnt. Assistant managers knew more than their own managers and even some coordinators. Never seen a broadcast facility ran this way. Alot of networks leaving I was told NBC was leaving and wanted to get into NBC when I was hired, however decided not to since they will be gone. This place is completely un-organized and is ran like a college broadcast classroom that I participated in a while back. Its unreal.
