A Great Place to Start Your Career in Production/Content Creation

Radio producer/board operator

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of opportunity to touch cutting-edge production technology and work with established, well-connected professionals in the radio/media industry. Great chance to build a portfolio of raw, hands-on production experience for one of the largest media companies in the world. Decent benefits - 401k, HSA, PTO, Health/Dental/Life.

Cons

Low pay, schedule inflexibility, minimal room for title change/upward growth within the company. Depending on your schedule, you don't interact with your managers much unless you are being scrutinized for work-related mistakes.

Don't Get Comfortable

Editor

Business Outlook

Pros

The work is easy, and the pay isn't too bad. Depending on what you do, the work/life balance is great. Occasional opportunities to travel and attend events.

Cons

They don't really care about their employees. I witnessed several rounds of layoffs during my handful of years here, and the reactions of my bosses and higher-ups were always apathetic and focused on what's "best for the business." They don't do yearly reviews or raises. I even got a promotion without a raise. After being laid off without any prior warning, they only gave me 4 weeks of pay as severance. I also felt like everyone was pretty mediocre at their jobs, partly because of the company culture. One executive actually told us the company prides itself on running "mean and lean." I came away from the job with very few new skills. Work here if you need a steady income as soon as possible, but keep your options open. They don't care about you.
