Pros

Great Company! Radio One offers great content to keep the urban media platform in the faces of the community. Highly motivated individuals. Perks can be phenomenal.

Cons

Business Departments in all markets are run differently. Some Managers do not follow the proper protocol or process which makes it difficult for some departments to succeed. Also, Radio One needs to become more innovative with Technology. Sometimes they lag with marketing tactics to stay ahead of the competition. Last, offer more incentive programs to help with company morale.

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!
