Pros

- Iconic brand to all US Hispanics. - Great news properties. - Good partnerships with entities like Bill and Melinda Gates foundation that have helped company promote education among US Hispanics. - Diversified suite of offerings: 2 broadcast networks, 9 cable networks, radio network, local TV/radio in 15+ markets, interactive apps and desktop options. - Good compensation. - Decent benefits.

Cons

- Making a profit is the most important thing to the C-suite and board; hence the re-orgs never seize. - Most of the decision makers are not Hispanic, they do not speak Spanish and are very removed from what it means to be bilingual and bi-cultural. While they know what it means from a text book perspective, they lack the practical experience that goes with it. - Unclear how they promote diversity advancement in the sales/corporate side. As I said above, most of the executive talent is not of Hispanic origin. (note: exceptions are Miami-talent and local stations) - Management is investing heavily in revamping image that doesn't need to be revamped with new logos for some of the networks. Ironic that we have never seen other iconic brands do this. Think of when was the last time McDonald's redid the golden arches, or when did Nike redo the swoosh or Coca Cola their logos? Never. - Hypocritical views regarding who they really target. Their core viewer is very Spanish dominant, immigrant/1st generation adults, but now they say they are targeting English-speaking Hispanics.

Pros

Good people work at the company. Great Hispanic growth - company serves the population well.

Cons

No real leadership or support from management at all levels - just reporting and finger pointing and fear. Employees are "let go" regularly - it seems like every month and once in a while there are large layoffs. Employees are never told it's happening or if it's over. Consequently, everyone is always worried about losing their job and feel demoralized and de-motivated.
