Pros

Coworkers for the most part are great. Like in most companies, there are those who love to gossip.

Cons

Good ideas are put forth by front line workers. Management ignores them. The industry is going through tremendously difficult times right now and as such I know our leaders are under a lot of pressure. Fair enough, but acknowledging your top performers on occasion and not lumping everyone in the same pile could do wonders for morale. Funny thing is the company is in the communication business and yet when it comes to informing employees about changes that will affect them, the employees usually find out from the gossip mill first. It would be nice if more respect was shown.

Pros

I love working at Hearst in the Baltimore, Maryland market. I have worked for many radio stations over the past nearly 40 years and this is one of the best companies as far as working environment. I really feel cared for here.

Cons

On a personal level, I've had a hard time getting full time employment within the company, which is discouraging. Also, it takes forever for management to make hiring decisions.
