Pros

I don't think I can list them all in this small space: - NRG Media is one the last great radio companies. They believe that people make the difference, the product is local and it is run as a decentralized company. This means they are not a cookie cutter company. You are a person here, not a number on a spreadsheet. The CEO, amary Quass is the most amazing person and leader in media. When the pandemic was here, while other companies were shedding people and cutting salaries, she wrote a letter to the industry and told them all that they were doing it wrong. NRG Media makes money, but not at the expense of it's employees. The employees are encouraged to take part in decisions...and the list goes on

Cons

Sometimes not enough continuity within the product side, companywide, but that can also be a pro, so...

Pros

There are people at NRG that are amazing at their jobs, pleasant to work with and always willing to help. That's about the only positive thing I can say.

Cons

The pay is way too low and the benefits are sub-standard and seemingly getting worse. Bonuses and decent monetary incentives are non-existent or set at purposefully unattainable levels. Seems the only focus is on maintaining earnings for those at the very top at all costs despite shifting marketing trends and a pandemic that have caused drastic drops in traditional marketing spend. There's unnecessary rigidity regarding employee flexibility and extremely high turnover as a result. I don't see this getting better.

Pros

There are good people here, who care about the community, care about the product & brand imaging they're putting out there. You can learn what you need to learn to advance somewhere else.

Cons

Management. I haven't dealt with corporate much, but the local management is subpar. I have seen them speak condescendingly & be duplicitous in several instances. They make it known that their focus is primarily on sales. Will only get new equipment if something is broken beyond repair or if they can sell it to someone who would want it. If you make a mistake, no matter how small, within 12 hours you will get an email about it. Management will not take your ideas seriously. For part timers, shifts get scheduled on preferential treatment. Pay is very low and not worth your time. The only way to get a raise is to move positions, which is very hard to do as they primarily hire from outside. It's also common for part timers to be worked as full time, but not allowed to work past a certain amount of hours so as to not have to give benefits or make them full time. Management also makes claims that going on-site gets you paid $40/hr. It does not. You get paid a flat rate for the two hours you are at an event, set-up, break down, and drive time.
