      Cannot trust managment

      Digital and television advertising account executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Learned a great deal about digital and television advertising, which I have been able to apply to other jobs.

      Cons

      Former General Sales Manager decided, seemingly on a whim, that my services were no longer needed after I had obtained more than double the number of affirmative commitments to annual marketing seminar, so I was given a half day off on Friday only to come in Monday so he could notify me that I was terminated with no prior warning or indication.

      On the decline

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Opportunity to grow. I started at an entry level position and have switch jobs internally a few times, so gotten to learn new skills. Get a good amount of PTO time to use. Most of the people you work with are good people.

      Cons

      New CEO is going on a chopping spree and likes to send out tone deaf emails. "Lean and mean," as he said. Laid off *entire* marketing department of every station for the whole company (going to hub them), some news staff, and directors are reportedly next. Who knows after that, but lots of employees are on edge. My understanding is stations weren't even aware this was coming until it was announced, too. Pretty much consolidating jobs/departments and looking for ways to replace people with automation/AI (he made it clear in his introductory meeting that he's really big into artificial intelligence). Consolidating means fewer people doing more work. Are we getting more pay? Probably not. Pay is not great, but never has been with any TV company I've worked for. Cost of living has gone through the roof, but pay has definitely not kept up. Know lots of people working a second job to pay the bills.

      Poor Management, Unclear Expectations

      Marketing research analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I went through a 3-month, 7-interview process + had 4 "assignments" given to me to receive a job offer in this role, all for a minimal pay bump despite the role being described as "Mid-Senior Level" on LinkedIn. I wouldn't recommend spending time pursuing this role.

      Cons

      Poor communication, low salaries, lack of trust in team members.
