What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Making smarter decisions. Quit firing good people
Listening to the needs of their staff and field crews who are instrumental in creating the content that allows them to be successful.
Communication is lacking across the board and the current managers could run a master class on how not to handle employees.
Everything they run everyone into the ground and under pay all of production a person who has been there 6 years doesn't get paid over 10 a hour
We have a general manager and that is all. There is a very poor breakdown of power, as well as managers who are only concerned about money. There is no overhead. No hr person on site. No one except GM.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I don't feel undervalued but I do believe there's an opportunity to significantly improve health care benefits. Spouses eligible for health care elsewhere are not eligible for Gray health care even at a premium. That can be tricky.
News stations are 24/7/365 operations. The environment is stressful and takes a toll on employees' wellbeing. Gray does not do enough to make up for that. Its employees constantly run toward tragedy, fight to improve ratings and miss holidays, etc with family. You get a 1.5% annual raise, on average
For a 4-yr degree job, the pay is poor. The pay is not keeping up with inflation. No one can survive on $33K !
I was started on the 3rd of the month. Due to gray policy, i had to wait 2 months to get insurance. And they are very poor policies. I am averaging around 15$. Which is now the minimum wage in my area. It is uncompetitive for the work they expect done.
A legitimate raise and hours that arent horrible.

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
The have little or no experience when they're hired. They're hired because they're the least expensive optin. Not their fault. Management's fault.
Communication is lackkng top fown
Better management, more communication and more personal relations instead of focusing all on the money and keeping that for the higher ups.
Review from Operations Dept
There’s.nothing if corporate turns their head to how mean they are. It’s about the bottom line —
Do their job competently and not rely on others to do it for them
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Connection is key they do not care
Leadership, better policies, better benefits, better conpensation. More respect for employees
stop firing and laying everyone off
Review from Engineering Dept
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Clear expectations is better performance
I didn't interview with this company I was hired while the place was owned by another company. They were easy
Review from Engineering Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
New leadership at the top
The fact is nothing makes our station unique in our top 100 market.
The GM needs to be talked to or change the way he runs it
Poor management, and not enough employees. The work load is unevenly spread
To much stress, back stabbing and mostly not having a lick of a sense of security
