Pros

The opportunity to meet high-profile celebrities when they visit the studios.

Cons

I was a General Sales Manager in multiple markets for the company for nearly 8 years. I watched the company self-sabotage itself with over-paying for assets and then trying to bury debt by nearly cooking the books. The worst part of my tenure was the culture created by executive management and leadership within the company. As consolidation continued to erode away staff at all levels, managers became more territorial and interested in keeping their positions AT THE EXPENSE of their own staff. It's a volatile company with serious financial issues. Layoffs are quarterly and there will never be room for advancement. As one market manager told the management team in a weekly meeting" YOU'LL GO BEFORE I DO...I'LL SEE TO IT". Worst benefit plan and costly health insurance that I've ever experienced as a 25 year broadcast veteran.

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.
