Pros

You have a decent amount of creative license in your show; at the local level, you find a lot of like-minded creative weirdoes and have cool perks like broadcast trips, interviewing artist and free event tickets; having the company name looks really good on your resume when you apply for other jobs

Cons

As the company restructures every few years and moves toward full automation, more people are laid off but their jobs are thrown onto remaining employees without a pay increase for most of them. There doesn't seem to be a regard for work/life balance coming from the corporate level. Too many are overworked and severely underpaid.

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.
