Pros

I felt like this company is really good about having you step out of your comfort zone and learn. I personally felt like I could ask to do something I hadn't done before and have ownership of it. I also really liked their DEIB efforts. It feels like this company in general cares about their employees. I was also happy when they expanded their vacation policy to 15 days per year.

Cons

Company wide, I can't think of any. However I did have a role that wasn't fully fleshed out and it left me to basically create it on my own. This was because of poor management at the time. I did however get new management and really flourished under them.

Pros

The benefits are ok, and the company seems to be solid.

Cons

Management has an agenda; the place is riddled with incompetence and poor decision making. Salaries for Hispanic workers are way below their NBC5 counterparts, an African-American non-Spanish speaking woman is in charge of Telemundo, and the unions are dragging the whole place to the graveyard. The station’s president rarely goes down to speak to his workers and the lady running the news department is too busy being woke and intimidating and firing people like it is the season finale of “The Apprentice”
