Pros

You can carve out a niche for yourself and hide from the powers-that-be if you're the type of person who just likes to focus on excelling with his or her work. Co-workers (not management) are generally pleasant to deal with (with a few WILD exceptions), and some of the people in my department were fantastic and ultimately are what got me through the days.

Cons

If something goes wrong, no matter how small, you can expect it to be blown out of proportion straight into the stratosphere. Don't expect anyone to ever take your word for anything. Management is asleep at the wheel and never acts to keep the staff informed or to hear you out during conflicts. If someone is senior to you, their word will be taken as gospel, even when there is irrefutable proof to the contrary. It's a pretty tenuous daily grind. There are a few good people, but by and large, do not expect anyone to care about you or, indeed, do anything but cut throats looking out for themselves. Radio is a sinking ship, and everyone seems to know that. Everyone always looked sad and beaten down. Bad days were terrible. Expect to be laid off at a moment's notice, regardless of your history/performance.

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.
