Pros

You aren't required to work non stop, good work/life balance. Nice people depending on where in the company you work. Decent holiday length.

Cons

Bad management/management that have never been sufficiently trained, doesn't invest in employees, pay is terrible and won't change for a long time. A lot of de-motivated employees, seen as just a number not a person. Will dodge yearly appraisals like the plague.

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.
