Pros

Lots of talented designers/artists. Great collaborative environment.

Cons

SEVERELY UNDERPAID. The salary is so frustrating along with the amount of work expected. For a company that has ONE Graphics Department for 50+ stations, they have failed to make us feel valuable. Everyone in this department wears several hats, but the pay is just disappointing that some of us have to work 2 jobs. I would not recommend this place, unless you are a fresh college graduate and this is your first job. But be aware, they will take advantage of your talents.

Pros

Flexible work environment - hybrid

Cons

Heavy workload, way below market compensation for the amount of responsibility, very limited advancement opportunities & uneven workload distribution among teams. In my experience, leadership made repeated statements about promotion opportunities in career growth that ultimately did not materialize. I felt that expectations were set that weren’t followed through on, which made it incredibly difficult to trust leadership. Transparency and follow through on career development could be significantly improved.
