      Pros

      Experience for entry level if not under contract.

      Cons

      Operates similar to a college-level station. Poor training with very little outside/industry experience in-house. Unprofessional atmosphere under incompetent leadership. Management is often petty and cruel. Pay is significantly lower than that of competition in the market. Non-negotiable 2-year contracts for producers and 3-year contracts for on-air employees. Outrageous penalty for breaking contract early - owners threaten to sue for remaining would-be salary of employee. (If you make $32k a year and you break a year early, they try to recover $32k in damages!!). If looking for your first job, it would be in your best interest to avoid this station and company.

      Pros

      Ability to move up quickly

      Cons

      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.
