Great place to build career

Minimum wage job but you get experience

Ability to move up quickly

Where to begin… the pay is atrocious, barely above minimum wage. Three year contracts for on-air talent, if you break your contract early the owners will file suit to recoup damages (the amount remaining on your contract.) There is no upper management. There is a news director, no HR, no assistant news director, no executive producer. There is an environment of complacency and toxicity that permeates the building, (along with water marks all over the ceilings). Instead of increasing salaries to compete with other stations in the market the owners are too busy acquiring small stations in micro markets across the country. They have slashed costs everywhere they can. Positions, vehicles, even local news programming. The way this station is run does a disservice to the viewers of the Delmarva region, and any young journalists looking to jumpstart their careers.
