Pros

Good people to work with. Dedicated and loyal. Always a fun light atmosphere.

Cons

Too much oversight. Strangling upper management. Overpaid order takers. it's like working for Nazis. They are constantly jamming directives from some clueless exec. down your throat. Things that have very little to do with your format. Driving audience away in the name of the almighty dollar. Very small picture view. Taking money from management companies and record companies then forcing all stations to play that artist several times a day. They don't seem to care if it fits the format you present. They don't give you a choice.

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.
