      Strong leadership with good visions.

      Pros

      Piggybacks off the "Hearst culture". Strong leadership and willing to promote from within (though station-experience is a must for this). Chairman is one of the most genuine people I've ever met and had the pleasure working for. Solid and personable executives.

      Cons

      A little bit on the old-school side. Unless you're coming from within the industry or one of their stations, you'll never make it to anywhere near the top. If you don't speak up and force a conversation about compensation, things may never automatically happen. And if you're from NYC, you're most likely limited from moving into a leadership role. Odd as that may seem, it only stresses how much they value station/market experience and aren't open to training from within.

      Good company, poor morale

      Pros

      This was a good place to start a career because of it's reputation and perks (like a gym on site, discounts at local stores, etc). The Cafe and Health Center are great as well. Also, the hours (which do differ depending on department) are pretty much 9-5, and there is not a lot of pressure to work on the weekends or after you head home.

      Cons

      It's almost impossible to move up without someone above of you leaving or getting promoted themselves. There are no real raises besides the standard 1-2% each year, no bonuses unless you are pretty high up (which is hard to get to in the first place), so you don't feel as though you are being acknowledged or compensated for your week. Every department is different, but from my experience morale is pretty low and there aren't incentives to do more than the minimum on a day-to-day basis.
