Pros

The corporate engineers are some of the best. Some of their plebian regionals are quite entitled, but little depth as a human.

Cons

I always knew what they were like. It started in1980 when Lowrey hired me during a station acquisition. It saddened me upon his passing. Over the next thirty years, my involvement came and went. After having a career of consistent winning with number one market contenders, I found myself in their employ in a market with near 70% billing dominance. After many years of exemplary work, I found no gratitude, no acknowledgement of 80 hr a week sacrifices, nothing but infighting and insults upon my retirement. Hell, I was nearly killed on duty when their tower fell from neglect. Only one person expressed concerns, when everyone else just wanted to know when it would be back on. Definitely beware, even if your tenure stacks up against any of their best.

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.
