Pros

My direct supervisor was amazing. Loved her. She created an autonomous but supportive and realistic environment. The perks of the job include executing special events, going to shows, and networking with industry leaders. It was the most fun job I've ever had, and I learned a lot about marketing in the music industry. It was cool being able to shape the culture of music in a local scope.

Cons

The pay was atrocious. The company as a whole knows their business and work is glamorous and will attract a lot of candidates, so they purposely pay less than what you're worth because they think you're lucky to be there. Unfortunately, you can't pay your bills with fun memories. They will spend thousands of dollars on new, shiny things that won't really push the needle, but it becomes a hard ask when an employee wants to be paid a competitive wage for their hard work. The turnover is high and people are seen as disposable. Someone who dedicated decades of his life and shaped each radio station in the cluster gets laid off and left to fend for himself. They don't see you as a person - they see you as a number. They are the type of corporation that funny work memes make fun of.

Pros

The company had really good happy hours and events to attend. Food almost everyday.

Cons

Awful management team. Everyone will plot against you if they see potential. Very political culture and one boss there is a weak male figure in the office. If he doesn’t like you all the other managers follow suit. Mind you he has no power at all yet managers at his same level report to him. Must be experienced to work there really come in with a book of business with accounts that have lots of money because that’s all they care about. They will use and abuse you then cast you to the side make sure you have a second job to lean on. Frequent layoffs no managers of color either. Lots of red flags in the begging do not ignore them.
