Pros

You get a paycheck; you can learn a bit about how the media advertising industry works. You work with some nice people

Cons

Too conservatively run; micromanagement; unless you’re willing to put up and shut up, all will be well. Otherwise, if you don’t believe in what you’re doing, you’re in for a real rough time.; very low morale; no innovation; IT is all Microsoft and much of it is outdated Microsoft at that; too many “vice presidents” and middle managers; radio division seems to be run like a 1970s IBM.

Pros

The team is very straightforward and helpful and they are willing to give you whatever tools necesary to win. One of the best teams I have ever worked with to be honestly.

Cons

Not many but you need to be flexible with hours as this is production work but that is industry standard.

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.
