Pros

Easy commute, seeing radio personnel daily.

Cons

Favoritism, lack of representation in the account sales executive & management roles, dead end sales leads in sales force, low pay, was lied to about the job role, you wont get much help from management if you’re not one of the favorites or apart of the club.

You Can Do Better Than Working Here.

Pros

Had the opportunity to explore a field I was passionate about.

Cons

Did the work of ~5 people for poverty-level salary. Some coworkers felt entitled to belittling those "below" them for their work, while they themselves put in the bare minimum. Harassment complaints about aforementioned coworkers fell on deaf ears- management didn't want to do anything about it. There were expectations to complete work well beyond office hours, and to be on call at all times because of shorthanded staffing. There's a reason why certain positions still haven't been filled nearly a year after I left!

Pros

You learn to work in very stressful environments for low wages. When you leave you are very prepared more than most to handle a crisis when getting paid a great wage. You get to take on a ton of responsibility because your manager probably doesn't understand how the systems work. You quickly learn that the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Sometimes you get to see celebrities in the hallways. You can wear jeans to work if you work in programming. You can pretty much say whatever you want on the air (besides profanity) if you continue to bring in money.

Cons

You have no choice but to work in very stressful environments for low wages. You get to take on a ton of responsibility because your manager doesn't understand how the systems work. You will also get low wages and no credit with corporate for doing so. When you ask for a raise your manager likely tell you to make your own raise, and create something during your off time so the sales team can get you "endorsements". Want some tickets to a popular event in town? Too bad. The sales department/upper management has already claimed them and will bring their own children. Asking your manager for a raise again? You might get the answer "Have you looked at our business lately" or "I'd love to give you a raise, but it's not up to me". You have no choice but to come in and work during weather emergencies. If you don't or cannot - your manager will passive-aggressively punish you afterward. You can pretty much say whatever you want on the air (besides profanity) if you continue to bring in money.
