Vantaggi

The people at WNET are the greatest. They are very smart, nice, hardworking and have a great attitude. The office is located in a great neighborhood. You will also get a lot of days off - 20 PTO days to start, the week between Christmas and New Years off, and half days before every three day weekend.

Svantaggi

Everything else. The senior managers are awful and lack a coherent vision for the future. The CEO is obsessed with news programming and is pretty much only focused on that. His first creation WorldFocus left the company in a bad state (and with lots of layoffs) and his newer creation, MetroFocus, is another subpar programming that is a top priority for the station. There is also very little accountability for the senior staff, as the board of trustee just goes along with everything and doesn't question what they are being told. WNET is also very top heavy and believes in paying employees well if you are at a particular level. if you are starting out, then look out for low salaries with maybe a yearly merit increase of 3%. Since most managers don't manage, there is very little oversight of the staff. It is easy to get stuck and comfortable there and just stagnate.

Vantaggi

You will meet some talented people doing all of the grunt work. Decent benefits (although they’ve gotten worse and worse every passing year)

Svantaggi

Management is asleep at the wheel and is often rewarded with raises and promotions for keeping the lights on. Meanwhile, low level employees wages are stagnant (raises were frozen during Covid but never came back for us). They would rather hire “consultants” for 100k+ a year so that they can tell them how to manage the company. If you are a young person looking to get a foot in at a media company, this is not the place for you. You will be disregarded and probably stay in an entry level position for years and years, it will not be a net benefit to your career.
