Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
What do you like best about the leadership team?
my immediate boss is amazing
One local sales manager keeps the team together, prioriting positive feedback & support. At the corporate level, they have instituted an entirely new micromanagement philosophy which will chase away the best employees.
Creating opportunities for employees at all levels
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Being honest and being compassionate.
Communication and leadership. No vision with this company.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
There are multiple packages to chose from as well at other benefits such as pet insurance and hospital indeminity.
Its a typical package in line with my position in the marketplace
PTO is fair and plenty
Competitive salary, stock and cash bonus. Occasional spot bonuses for extraordinary efforts is extra nice.
High deductible health plan is awful. Its almost like not having insurance. Seems like a bare minimum plan the company has chosen to pass costs onto the employees. For example one monthly prescription drug under my previous employer plan $10 a month - under the Scripps plan $1800 a month.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
yes getting paid for ALL of the work I do would be great
They raised some salaries but not mine. I've been around a bit and experience is expensive, they are trying to cut expenses and don't care about experience.
They increased pay and talk about it like they've given employees the gift of a lifetime when in fact it's still at the bottom compared to other companies/occupations.
Remote work and higher salary
What are some of the best things about your team?
Open communication. No one is shamed. Truly care for each other.
One manager & we have a great team of employees.
The employees support each other and functions as their own team
Coworkers and the people in the newsroom /company who aren't management are truly talented, kind and smart
Great experience, and critical thinkers, yet adaptive and open to new models and more organic ways to build deliverables.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
the culture would need to improve in order for the quality of employees to improve
They need to tespect those in managerial roles and lose some of the entitlement
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Our team is great & we have each others backs.
What's the culture of a sinking ship where the captain tells you everything is ok? What's the culture of that meme of a dog drinking coffee while everything is on fire around him? It's fear for your livelihood. It's manipulation to take it "for the team". There are no more positives in its culture
EVERYONE is happy, no one talks or interacts with one another because it's so negative.
The most positive about my work environment are the colleagues I work and interact with. They are great. The corporate leadership team is the horrible part of working for Scripps.
Friendly and flexible work environment.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
New leadership and more Collaboration and better communication
Management and company needs to show support, compassion, trustworthiness and kindness to the newsroom staff
What did you like most about the interview process?
it was a short process
With the exception of new HR system (at the time) causing some hiccups, interview process was smooth and easy. This was back in 2019 though.
Speaking the same language (metaphorically)

What makes you most happy at work?
The feeling of accomplishment for a job well done.
My colleagues are what make me most happy at work
Variety or work and opportunities to grow
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Negative work environment. Lack of support and training.
Lose leadership at corporate and station level. Turn the ship around. Emphasize newsroom stability and sustainability at the expense of C-Level and mgmt salaries instead of gutting them for a cheap and lesser product that viewers DON'T like. Return to honesty and transparency.
Scripps needs to get back to its core values. When I started working for them, it was great. The last year has been atrocious.
Pay the employees better and stop cutting corners.
