PROS: KNAB features lots of on-air work, production, and firsthand radio experience... more than you could ever hope to find at a major-market (big city) station. Amazingly, none of the paychecks ever bounced.
CONS: The most abusive, and pervasively negative job I have ever held! The owner, Bette Bailey, treats her employees like absolute dirt... She screams maniacally at us and berates us for even the smallest infractions. Also, she is breaking some of the most fundamental employment laws in existence:
She makes us work more than 70-hours a week, with NO overtime pay (despite ALWAYS making us work overtime!!!) This is no joke... I was working 12-hour days Monday-Friday, 8-hours on Saturday and 5-hours on Sunday, and that was a typical work week! (There were times she made me work 17-hours in one day!)
The earnings statement attached to our paychecks (where our tax deductions should be listed) is literally a blank page.
The salary is a pittance compared to the work she makes you do: I started at $1,200.00 per month, and this was full-time! Also, she once waited nearly three months (to save money) before hiring another employee.
Bette Bailey would routinely accuse her employees of things that never happened, while also blaming us for her own mistakes. While she made us work every weekend and holiday, she herself took weekends and holidays off! Finally, there is absolutely no advancement of any kind at this company. Bette Bailey is a tyrant, and I sincerely hope she falls on her sword one day... I hope her deliberate dismissal of basic employment laws is finally exposed.
