Pros

Great brands, people and work environment. Digital team has come a long way. Now everyone from a sales, marketing and post sales account mgmt actually has a digital back ground. As opposed to two years ago when it was a few print people trying to sell as manage digital campaigns.

Cons

Horrific maternity leave. Only pay 6 weeks. Force employee to use one week of their annual vacation. Employee then has the option to use the rest of their annual vacation toward their maternity leave - but then has no more vacation for the rest of the year. The rest of the 3-month maternity leave (which the employee only gets bc of the FMLA, which essentially treats maternity leave like a medical leave) is unpaid. This from a company whose brands portray the image of building women up. And a huge % of the company is women. It's shameful.

Pros

I love working at Hearst in the Baltimore, Maryland market. I have worked for many radio stations over the past nearly 40 years and this is one of the best companies as far as working environment. I really feel cared for here.

Cons

On a personal level, I've had a hard time getting full time employment within the company, which is discouraging. Also, it takes forever for management to make hiring decisions.
