Fox Corporation

What is the best part of working at the company?
Working at Fox Media has been a rewarding and fulfilling experience, primarily due to the presence of excellent managers and the opportunity to tackle challenging engineering problems.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The hours were long, the deadlines were tight, and the on-call rotation was brutal.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The collaborative nature of the workplace culture at Fox Media further enhances the experience. The camaraderie among colleagues and the emphasis on teamwork create an atmosphere where tackling challenging problems becomes a collective effort. This collaborative approach not only fosters creativity but also ensures that each team member can contribute their unique skills to overcome engineering challenges.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
The managerial team at Fox Media stands out for their exceptional leadership and support. Throughout my time here, I have had the privilege of working under managers who not only possess a deep understanding of the industry but also create a positive and motivating work environment. Their guidance has been instrumental in my professional growth, providing valuable insights and encouragement.

One of the most compelling aspects of my experience at Fox Media has been the chance to engage with challenging engineering problems. The organization consistently presents its engineering teams with complex and intellectually stimulating projects. These challenges have allowed me to push my boundaries, learn new skills, and find innovative solutions. The variety and depth of the engineering problems encountered here have undoubtedly contributed to my overall development as a professional.

They treated us like children and played with everyone's schedules. I went through something personal that caused me to have to have surgery and was told to come back within 3 days or they would use my vacation time as opposed to my sick time. Many people took leave of absences just to get a break from the company. Seniority meant nothing. They are right now offering people who have been there for a certain amount of years a buyout to leave the company and forgo receiving retirement, calling it a "new direction!." One day manager was a really good Manager, not sure how the prime time manager became a manager without ever being an operator. One manager is special because he's been there since it all started so they just allow him to stay on and manage whatever he can since he was really bad at messing up schedules.  A typical day was coming in 30 minutes before a live event unless you were given mandatory overtime, in that case you could be walking right into a pod and taking over. I learned a lot about live events by speaking to AD's and producer's at sporting events. The job was very easy if you learn technical things easy, the hardest part of the job was dealing with revolving schedules between 7am-3am, management treating us like children and endless new policies that seemed to be made just to find ways to fire people. Right now the newest policy is to not clock in 1 minute late or earlier than 5 minutes early for your shift, also, you may not request 2 saturdays off in a row. HR is really good! Co-workers attitudes are bi-polar, tread lightly or they will go to HR about something you may or may not have said or done in hopes of getting you fired.

Working at Fox News was one of the worst professional experiences of my life. From day one, it was abundantly clear that the workplace culture is toxic, divisive, and rooted in favoritism and cliques. If you're not part of the "in-crowd," good luck advancing—or even being treated with basic respect.

Leadership is a complete disaster. Many in management positions have little to no actual experience or qualifications, yet they are given free rein to micromanage and bully employees. Constructive feedback is nonexistent; instead, there’s a culture of intimidation, blame-shifting, and zero accountability from the top down.

Amateur leadership decisions are made on a whim, often based on personal relationships rather than merit or data. Most managers seem to have no understanding of the job functions of their own teams, which results in unrealistic demands, chaotic workflows, and constant miscommunication.

Don’t expect mentorship, career development, or support. If anything, expect to be thrown under the bus regularly. It's very much a sink-or-swim environment where the people in power are more concerned with maintaining their image than actually leading or supporting their teams.

The environment is also extremely cliquey—favoritism runs rampant, and if you’re not aligned politically or personally with certain managers, you’re often excluded from key meetings, projects, and opportunities. Gossip and backstabbing are common, and HR does little to nothing to protect employees or resolve conflicts.

If you value your mental health, professional growth, or even basic decency in the workplace, steer clear of Fox News. The brand may be high-profile, but the internal operations are a mess of incompetence, toxicity, and ego-driven chaos.

A typical day at work consists of coordinating the daily production functions at Fox Soccer Channel. From putting out production packets for our in studio shows to booking associate directors to games we broadcast.

I've learned that details are a big key to making sure everything flows well. Having the specifics down makes things easier in the long run. They keep you ahead of the game and the problems out of our hair.

By observing my managers I've noticed how important it is to have a solid relations with people. In the end most of anything done the world is people working with people. Being able to adapt to someone who might make things difficult is very important. Handling personalities, when to push them, when to let them be, are all keys to running a successful business.

It's important to work with people you enjoy being around. Being able to trust that your coworkers will perform the job up to the correct standard takes a load off one's shoulders.

The hardest part of the job is having a multitude of assignments to worry about. It's not necessarily hard as much as it has to do with time management. Very important to give yourself enough time to handle different parts of a production. I've learned to not spread myself to thin as your work will show that. Prioritizing and planning accordingly are musts in my line of work.

The most enjoyable part is to see our productions running smoothly on tv. Anything we do has a final product, and our shows are basically it.

Fox News significantly underpays employees, and gets away with. 
HR's response to anyone who dare request for a higher annual raise is a flat out NO -- followed up with the "you are however free to leave at anytime if you are not content with current salary" .... BUT that going to other networks that pay more (the industry standard) would "not be in your best interest, as you're lucky to be working for the number one network, and the only network that is shows loyalty to its employees" ... claiming their track record for never instituting mass layoffs equates to job security for all, which = "loyalty" .... 
In other words ..... FOX will NEVER shy away from their standard 3% annual raises across the board, despite the obvious fact that employee performance scores rank from really low to really high. However, you and your lazy co-worker get the same raise percentage year after year. 
Long/short ... simply wanting to be paid the current industry average for your position, title and job responsibilities is NOT a reasonable request according to an HR department well known for their brainwashing tactics. 

The workplace environment is extremely negative and toxic. There’s a lingering “boys’ club” culture, where advancement and respect often require treating management like celebrities or media personalities. Training for new hires is practically nonexistent; I was told to pay out of pocket for online courses instead of being properly onboarded.

Accountability is severely lacking. Media personalities are given preferential treatment, and when issues arise, blame is passed down the ladder. Bullying is rampant, and the culture perpetuates this behavior rather than addressing it.

Management is often out of touch, as many positions are filled through nepotism or tenure rather than skill or expertise. This results in a lack of understanding of new technologies or the complexities of the roles they oversee.

Career growth is stagnant. Many team members remain in the same role for over a decade, despite obtaining certifications and pursuing professional development. The company doesn’t foster collaboration or growth, instead keeping employees in roles where they can be controlled and exploited for their expertise. Efforts to advance your career are often met with criticism or resistance from management.

It's that season again. NFL season who's ready for some football (jingle)! I am definitely ready for some football!!! Great place to work for when you are an NFL fan. At the time, I was most fortunate to work for this company FOX SPORTS. Great bunch of people from management to your fellow co-workers it was an immense joy to be in. Best of all is the legends of football like Terry Bradshaw, James Brown, Jimmy Johnson, and Howie Long it was awesome to watch these guys host the show. The hardest part of the job was contacting the press box and learning to use honey and tactfulness to extract information for the TV host to be used on live air updates for their NFL fans. 

The most enjoyable part of the job was watching their special guest interviews. Sure you get a lot of Hollywood and NFL celebrities but the one that will always stick out personally to me was the Jimmy Johnson's interview. His time with the Dallas Cowboys and his philosophical look on the sport and in general "life". 

He quoted, "The greatest accomplishment is not in never falling, but in rising again after you fall". ---Vince Lombardi

I kept this to heart and I am so fortunate to be there... Overall, FOX SPORTS is a great company to work for.

Depending on the season, everyday involves planning for and crewing for news coverage of sporting events.

Also working with PR Personnel from NFL/NBA/MLB/NHL and college teams to coordinate credentials and permission to cover their games for news coverage including live pre game hits and taped post game stand ups.

On the assignment desk side and Sat Sheet side, making sure that all possible television sports games and shows are recorded and accounted for.  

Footage requests for shows need to cleared and approved for usage.

When live news breaks, be able to work quickly to prepare to cover the news in a timely fashion from the stand point of crewing, getting a satellite truck and calling other local affiliates and/or networks to obtain their coverage as well if needed.

Co-workers are all cable of handling their duties and all work well together.

Job is enjoyable due to covering all sports, being out in the field producing the game coverage is the most enjoyable part of the job.

The most difficult part is just being able and ready to adjust on the fly for any unforeseen problems and issues.  

Management for my position is great.

Obey the rules, stay in your lane, don't complain describes COX the company that owns FOX 25.  Somewhat lower end benefits. We've been asked our opinion on benefits and gave the company our thoughts through an anonymous survey.....but no answers back. 
Cox has never addressed our benefit concerns in all the  years I've been here.

This station is a decent place to work and is a good step to a bigger station in Boston or elsewhere.  Non-Union so few restrictions in day to day work.  

The station is run like a military operation...strict and disciplined. They are not too  tolerant of mistakes.  Corporate says they want input from us, but when given, the only feedback you hear  is silence.

It short, not the best place to work but certainly not the worse.  Would take Fox 25 anyday over WBZ or WHDH.

GOOD LUCK! 

P.S. In my  years working for them they have never given 
hourly employees or writers more than a 2 percent raise.
