Pros

Biggest company to work for.

Cons

They own almost all of the media in the country, which limits talent on where they can work. Management is subpar, or worse. Pay is bad, benefits are negotiated, yet high workload is demanded, plus overtime. Management leverages talent's need to keep their job to get more overtime out of them. Layoffs are always imminent. No one seems to be safe.

Pros

My direct supervisor was amazing. Loved her. She created an autonomous but supportive and realistic environment. The perks of the job include executing special events, going to shows, and networking with industry leaders. It was the most fun job I've ever had, and I learned a lot about marketing in the music industry. It was cool being able to shape the culture of music in a local scope.

Cons

The pay was atrocious. The company as a whole knows their business and work is glamorous and will attract a lot of candidates, so they purposely pay less than what you're worth because they think you're lucky to be there. Unfortunately, you can't pay your bills with fun memories. They will spend thousands of dollars on new, shiny things that won't really push the needle, but it becomes a hard ask when an employee wants to be paid a competitive wage for their hard work. The turnover is high and people are seen as disposable. Someone who dedicated decades of his life and shaped each radio station in the cluster gets laid off and left to fend for himself. They don't see you as a person - they see you as a number. They are the type of corporation that funny work memes make fun of.
