Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
My work is exciting, but my coworkers are repugnant, spiteful, and don't listen to me.
Review from Operations Dept
What do you like best about the leadership team?
She actually listens and is respectful.
Review from Operations Dept
Willing to listen to every employee
My manager started from the same level I did and is very knowledgeable and understanding of the industries workflow and he fights for the recognition I deserve whenever he has the chance to, however often it may fall on deaf ears.
They trust me and my work and let me lead my team
Local Leadership is good, corporate leadership is out of touch with what it takes to Win. They do not allow for local control or empowerment. The culture at our station is quickly changing as talented people leave and are replaced by inexperienced new hires.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Communication, valuing their employees, training and growth opportunities, listening to employee concerns and not just brushing them off.
Actually leading and less sitting at a desk doing nothing.
Communication and having those hard conversations to keep everyone in the loop when dealing with technical failures that could effect everybody's ability to do their job.
Making diversity & inclusion welcomed and valued in the company. The building is a "boiler room" because it's hot, as the leadership appears oblivious in SLC. Something needs to be done for us in traffic & sales to obtain us better working conditions.
Communication within ranks and accountability
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Immediate 401k match which is uncommon
Healthcare that offers vision and dental.
The commission rates are good
the benefits we get are great, particularly healthcare
Review from Operations Dept
The health insurance is the best part of the benefits. I've never had an issue getting in where I need to.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Be honest with us. Not offering pay raises or having people take pay cuts while the CEO gets a multi million dollar raise never sirs well. Saying we cant travel "because corporate says" also is a lie. Yet the GM can hang out at the Super Bowl on the company dime and thats ok.
I have most of the work being thrown on me because it's easier and quicker to give it to the guy who knows what he's doing than give it to someone who doesn't and then wait for them to figure it out, or end up getting thrown to me anyway. I don't get paid to do most of the departments work.
I brought in new clients the first month, with no prior advertising experience. My manager sabatoged my employment.
Pay at market rate Quit cheating sales people
Paid less than nearby McDonald's.
What are some of the best things about your team?
Aome of my colleagues are great and theyre stuck too.
The majority of us work together
Great people on the teams but all fully aware that they’re being overwork
They are good at what they do and what they know. They're willing to impart their knowledge on others, although some more than others.
My team is a varied group of competent individuals with differing backgrounds which uses their strengths to make up of some of others weaknesses. We work well together and we're able to back each other up with however much effort we can provide.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Theyre nice people and they mean well. Theyre just in way over the heads. You get what you pay for.
More recognition and management empowerment
No collaberation. Management discourages collaberation.
This company is practically a daycare for adults who can't stand criticism. The only employees they can afford are those who haven't been hired by a better company this is why they always have trouble hiring reporters and weather reporters.
Review from Operations Dept
There needs to be better communication, or for that matter, communication.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
The company is open and active regarding diversity
Everyone working to a common goal.
Coworkers are intelligent, kind, and ready to learn.
The non-management staff mostly cares about each other.
Coworkers are able to stay positive despite having little support from immediate supervisor.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Actual respect. People just need to listen to other people's preferences and mental health needs.
Review from Operations Dept
Everything. Its at the top I think.
The micro management and fair comoensation
The ones in charge are poisoning the well.
Management transparency, management accountability and less backbiting
What did you like most about the interview process?
It was on my own time, as well as on video so I could stay at home.
Review from Operations Dept
Opportunity to speak with several people
They were thorough and asked actual interview questions
They say all the right things. They make yoi believe like you can grow within the company and can move to bigger cities that are within the company. All of it is a lie. Management will sandbag you because theyre bitter you want to leave.
It was very informal but also a test to see how much I knew.
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Managers responsibility, not mine to say.
I have not interviewed with any Nexstar executives.
Actually learn how to properly interview. Not that it matters because they can only afford those who have no other options.
Review from Operations Dept
They should bring people to the station more during the process.
What makes you most happy at work?
Working my favorite position in production: camera!
Review from Operations Dept
The ability to focus on doing a good job
Customers do not understand the company operates stations and hubs
Working with the community to tell their stories is the most enjoyable part of my job.
Being at work anymore is no longer enjoyable.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
They need to clean house.
Management needs to communicate, Corporate needs to show that they actually value their workers. Turnover is happening in droves.
Ethics. Instead of printing you have them, actually demonstrate that you do.
Management does not care about subbordinates
Pay better. Hire better managers.
