Pros

I worked at Radio One Philadelphia fresh out of college as a broad operator paying $10/hr. Then after 2 years, I applied for their online editor position making $45,000/year. It is a great experience for getting your foot through the door in the entertainment industry or for trying to enhance your digital portfolio. Lot of of article writing, social media creation, and video editing with interviews

Cons

$45K this day in age is just not enough money, but as an entry-level, it's good for the experience, if you can still live at home with your mom/family. Can be a lot of work at times because it's just you who is responsible for 4 websites, writing articles, creating content for 4 station with 4 platforms each, recording/editing interviews and performances, sending out daily email/text blast messages. It has it's perks, but also a lot of work.
