Nexstar Media Group Reviews

Pros

Experience Generating . . .

Cons

Workload . . . .

Pros

The people you work with are great. It was a constant learning environment.

Cons

Tough to make sales sometimes

Pros

The company was organized and well-run with clear brands, policies and procedures. The insurance benefits were also great,

Cons

Nexstar purchased my TV station from another company and immediately started taking things, including our company-issued credit cards and cellphones. That made it more difficult to do our jobs. There seemed to be a big focus on how few people could do a job and how much could be cut, which made us much less competitive in the market.

Pros

A great company to work for

Cons

In some locations there is little ability for upward movement

Pros

Takes hard work and dedication but everyone there is great and is like a news family

Cons

Lack of coworkers for stories

Pros

Typical television station that struggles to find a balance between revenue and journalism.

Cons

This is a business and unfortunately, they prioritize money over people.

Pros

For someone just starting out, this is a good spot. Tons of hands-on experience, practice hitting deadlines, and if you're enjoying what you do, it's quite easy to make the jump to a bigger market.

Cons

Can't speak to bigger markets, but due to the upward mobility of talent, smaller markets rely on fresh (read: inexperienced) talent. Mentorship is at a minimum, so it can be tough to refine and develop skills. Many stations are more run by the sales side of the building rather than news, so priorities can be lost at times. Especially for small markets, resources and personnel may be smaller than at the bigger ones, so be prepared to have more on your plate than you'd expect.
