Pros

There aren't many pros to this job besides getting the hell out of there.

Cons

This company is a joke! They boast being African American owned but all Corporate management is white. The African American race is a joke to them. I have observed how white management looks at the African American listeners of the starions like they are nothing more than trash. Their Hip Hop stations play garbage and they don't care as long as they are making money. White salesperson's make more money than African American sales people...They get over compensated for having to put up with the negros!

No Room For Growth

Pros

Some of the strongest marketing efforts are grassroots and traditional mediums, like radio. It's a great place to understand the foundation of marketing and build relationships.

Cons

There's absolutely no room for growth and part of its not their fault, it's just a dying industry in general. Management clearly has their favorite employees and allow those employees much more leniency than others. There were several instances employees should have been fired and received a slap on the wrist instead.
