Pros
Radio is FUN. Perks of being on the radio include a broad audience reach, the ability to build a personal brand, meeting new people and celebrities, gaining technical skills, impacting lives with content, instant feedback through broadcasts, and the potential for creative expression. Work/Life balance is good, especially in recent years with the techniolical advancements.
Cons
Horrible management at the corporate level, low pay, lack of advancement opportunities, and a toxic work environment. Some positive co-worker relationships and helpful management at the local level. Financial mismanagement led to Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2024 and later layoffs. Buddy system: Many consultants receive large checks for little to no work. "Friends" are promoted, not the best person. Senior management is still employed and paid well for destroying brands and not rewarding employees who deliver results.
