Overall a decent place to learn but don't expect great advancement opportunities

Pros
The pay and benefits were certainly fair for the market size. Almost every corporate PD or Brand Manager I worked with did take an interest in my station (things it was doing right and areas that needed improvement), despite having to manage several markets and stations.
Cons
Corporate PD's did take an interest, but feedback is coming from someone flying at 60,000 feet (take it with a grain of salt). Being a yes man is definitely valued here. Pushback isn't always welcome, especially the lower on the food chain you rank. Demands are high with no great advancement opportunities - mainly because everything is being consolidated. If you're looking for cookie-cutter radio where you can just blend in and not make a difference - you'll be fine here. But flying under the radar will only get you so far.

Pros
The benefits package was outstanding if the pay was not. Also, they do have ownership of all the good tools for programming that you would ever want (Selector, tons of radio ratings tools, etc.)
Cons
Management some of the worst money grubbing people I have ever met. People hired then fired within 6 months because "change" was needed. Revolving door. Programming people -- the people who work on the product they theoretically sell to advertisers -- treated like worthless and unnessesary expenses (drains) on budget.
