      Pros

      It is a massive organization with tons of people, energy and moving parts. For the past five years, the company has been in aggressive expansion and growth mode, both through mergers and acquisitions and also through intensive internal development of personnel and departments. The company always goes above and beyond to make sure each station has the various tools and technology needed to win against the competition.

      Cons

      The size of the organization is both a pro and a con. Sometimes it can be overwhelming to keep up with all of the moving parts. But with diligence comes rewards and those who are willing to put the work in will see those rewards.

      Clueless about a digital strategy, ego-driven corporate mentality that is based on top-down authoritativeness.

      Pros

      They were smart enough to at least recognize that their national strategy for web content was horrible, and began to trust the digital department of one of its subsidiaries to make the bigger decisions about platform, product and marketing approach. They have a lot of "reach" by owning 100+ TV channels, yet they do not effectively take advantage of the economies of scale that affords them. They think that Baltimore is a place people would want to live! Excuse me, they think that an office park outside of Baltimore is where people would want to work.

      Cons

      A clueless, politically-driven, "our way our the highway" upper management from the East Coast who clearly doesn't know what a website past 1999 should look like. Low pay for the industry. Conflicting priorities and business decisions (they will empower two different departments to do the same thing, then ask them to play nice when that causes friction)

      This is the most poorly ran company I have EVER been employed with. The management is TERRIBLE.

      Pros

      NOT ONE. NEVER APLY AT THIS COMPANY.

      Cons

      This place is ALL smoke and mirrors. They make sure and not pay you as much as they can by robbing deals from commission checks. They promise great earnings and don't deliver. They can't even have the once a month floor wide sales meeting on time. It is always at least 2 months behind schedule. The benefits are a joke. HR department is ran by a bunch of high school that have no clue what they are doing.
