Pros

Great perks like tickets to fun events, private concerts, etc. Great customers for the most part, and overall fun, energetic environment. This is a great place for either young, driven singles with no kids or someone with older kids (like high school/college) who don't need much time or involvement. (I put this same topic under pro's and cons so read both)

Cons

Low employee value (you're just a revenue producer, not a living breathing human.) Lack of good sales training, inconsistent support based on whoever you happen to have as a manager, HIGH DRAMA environment (if you loved petty, immature, high school drama and gossip then you'll love it here.). If you have elementary school kids or (God forbid) younger kids then this will be VERY hard if you're the primary caretaker. Say goodbye to work/life balance if you have young kids. The long hours, time, stress, and inflexibility are killers when it comes to regular family life, sick kids, sports, doctor's appointments, etc. In addition to the regular long hours needed to be successful, you'll also have client dinners and/or client events, and station events on weeknights and weekends. They are always fun but very demanding of time when you have kids at home.

Pros

The team is very straightforward and helpful and they are willing to give you whatever tools necesary to win. One of the best teams I have ever worked with to be honestly.

Cons

Not many but you need to be flexible with hours as this is production work but that is industry standard.

Pros

The company had really good happy hours and events to attend. Food almost everyday.

Cons

Awful management team. Everyone will plot against you if they see potential. Very political culture and one boss there is a weak male figure in the office. If he doesn’t like you all the other managers follow suit. Mind you he has no power at all yet managers at his same level report to him. Must be experienced to work there really come in with a book of business with accounts that have lots of money because that’s all they care about. They will use and abuse you then cast you to the side make sure you have a second job to lean on. Frequent layoffs no managers of color either. Lots of red flags in the begging do not ignore them.
