Not worth the money they pay you.

Pros

As long as you have a GM and GSM that is great, the station level is great. I've heard horror stories about bad stations, luckily I was at a great one. Also make sure you have a decent sales coordinator, they'll save your hide.

Cons

1) For what you have to do, and the hours you put in, the base salary is laughable. 2) Don't ever expect to get a sales bonus. If you do, consider yourself lucky. 3) Upper management at corporate all want blood from a turnip. They have no idea what actually happens at the station level. They will also tell you how much of a POS you are for missing budget, or not selling spot or new business. 4) If you have any kind of skills at all, it's not worth the stress and headaches you'll put up with on a daily basis. 5) There's absolutely no training. And when you need to ask the corporate ops team how to do something - they won't tell you. Just call you stupid for doing it wrong when you have no choice but to fumble it because no one gave you directions.

Pros

This is an very progressive company that is looking blaze the trail of new technology. This company is setting the bar amongst its peers.

Cons

Growth pains can make traditional employees confused. The old guard can at times be very rigid in their beliefs. Some may find it a struggle to change old behaviors.
