Pros
One of the few reasons I’d recommend working here is the salary and paid time off you get.
Cons
Working in such a high market in the news industry is bound to have its challenges, but Fox was a really hard place to work at. Not only do managers gossip and talk down on their workers openly when they’re not around, they also joke about the seriousness of a gruesome news story that always crosses the line, they swear they’re “there if you need them,” but once you ask them for help or clarification, they go out of their way to give you attitude and make you feel stupid. The men in that newsroom also make really inappropriate, weird comments and advancements. If you’re a woman, I would not recommend adding them on any kind of social media or giving them your personal number. I feel like the people in high management know what’s going on, and it just isn’t a priority to them. Same thing with being understaffed, and having to pick up another person’s workload, yet no appreciation is shown. Your schedule is also changed up quite a lot, some people end up working 8-9 days straight and even though it’s brought to the attention of a manager, they express how sorry they are but don’t actually change the schedule. The work/life balance isn’t good either. You can expect calls and emails outside of work hours, and if you don’t respond, you get passive aggressive comments about not staying in the loop. Overall, I don’t think this is a good place to work unless changes are made in management, and the work culture is fixed.
