Good place for beginning newsies - Recensione dipendente - Production Assistant presso WCCB

Fun! Excitement of live TV. Can meet celebrities and other influential men and women in the community. Relaxed and laid back. Great place to learn and grow your broadcasting career.

Strange hours. Low pay. To be fair, it's average for the market and industry. Is what it is. Freelance and side gigs are advised.

Pay is the only positive.

Management uses fear tactics to scare employees. Way too many middle managers and not enough news staff. Worked there for years and never even talked to or saw the President of the company. Each floor is like a different level of society and the management treats it as such. People who work downstairs get paid the least and have to pay for vending machine snacks while anyone who has an office upstairs has a fridge stocked with free food and drinks. Leaders of the company and upper management are inaccessible to people who work downstairs. You need a key card entry to access the upper level where most of the management works. The “my door is always open” policy does not exist. The most toxic work environment I’ve ever experienced. There were 7 different news directors in my time there. The most recent was let go and then brought back because they couldn’t keep anyone else. SO Dysfunctional. Took a pay cut to get out. No amount of money is worth working here.
