Pros

Good place to start and grow with limited experience. Gives good opportunities to kids in or just out of college. Big company that should be around for years to come.

Cons

Industry changing every minute. More competition constantly springing up from other sources (internet, cable, etc) which takes away profits so downsizing is common. Cutting edge technology (digital programming) creates automation in the production field which eliminates workforce.

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.
