Pros

-Great work/life balance -Company culture is great. Everyone is kind, considerate, and companionable.

Cons

-The company is not currently matching 401ks. -Pay does NOT reflect recent inflation. They pay well for 2015 if that tells you anything. -Raises are unlikely unless you get a new role, which is equally unlikely. - Way too much focus on radio. Tell me honestly: When was the last time you turned on AM radio?

Pros

Great supportive local environment, people called to work there to support the mission.

Cons

Corporate digital leadership is disjointed and systems are chaotic. Actual delivered campaigns are inevitably flawed and mis managed. Retaliatory, narcisstic, abusive corporate digital leadership. Constant systems changes and zero assistance in navigating. More and more digital agency and other jobs outsourced to Asia. Salespeople are exhausted and burned out by programs failing. Zero accountability taken by Ad Ops team for mistakes or extrene lag time in responses from internal automated systems. Salary cuts to 'help the company' plays on the mission minded employees, taking advantage of employees good intentions by underpaying them compared to industry. No 401K match.
