Pros

It used to be a good and nice work environment within a friendly atmosphere of co-workers. Used to have good benefits such as a good healthcare, 401 K and severance. In paper they care about human values & charities. In real life I have my doubts. The main and only interest seem to be profit with out basic integrity. Functional Heads personal self interest which makes it even worst and without integrity to the company.

Cons

Unorganized work. Last minute calls. Everybody have a scapegoat in case they do something wrong, but if someone with less hierarchy does an error then you are the only one to blame, even if they help or silenced the error. Very good people with lots of talents were once in Azteca America, but the organization and the director get rid of them. People with lesser value but with sharp tongues are close to the functional head and ripping apart the organization with short term profits and speculative views. Unofficially I had two bosses. Just to cover the main one in case the other screw up.

Pros

Great benefits and top notch management. This company gives you room to grow and provides the support and encouragement to reach your goals.

Cons

Not the largest broadcaster so you have to be creative and diligent to work here. The company provides well thought out campaigns to help their sales team reach their goals.

Pros

At any job, there is something positive to learn. Something to take out of. I appreciated my boss, he was understanding and tried when he could or wanted to lol. Lucky for me, I did have a healthy work/life balance but that is largely based on the individual. Don't let people take advantage of you, don't be too nice! But there are great people here, smart people who I believe deserve to be acknowledged and rewarded.

Cons

The people here aren't happy. Pass through the halls and you will likely be presented with somber faces and a dissatisfied energy that bounces of the old dark and drab hospital-like walls. Say "good morning" or "hello" and you'll be lucky to get a response, people seem to avoid wasting their energy on someone who may be slightly chipper or simply a happy person in general. I judged those people for a while, not understanding how one could carry such a clouded mindset and aura about them, until I slowly realized why. Months will pass without a note of appreciation for your hard work then soon years, for those of us who choose to go the extra mile--may that be answering the phones on your lunch, staying a while longer to finish a project for someone or simply push your limit for the betterment of the role/company. Soon you will note that close to ALL upper management find themselves too important to acknowledge who you are or greet you with a "hello" or "how are you". However, heaven forbid you make a mistake and you will be yelled at or spoken to in such a condescending matter it will make you question why you would choose to spend your time here. Raises, highly unlikely. Perks? What are those? "I have to work on Christmas Eve?" You betcha! Don't expect much but the minimum--if that. This is how it goes: First you'll feel like a ghost, no one cares who you are or why you're there (unless they need something from you). Then you become a slave to the system (no room for growth, "it's not in the budget"--get used to hearing that), then a zombie (you stop caring, roaming the halls with the expectation of being laid off ) and lastly a monster (one of those dissatisfied/unhappy people I spoke of before who cares less than to smile at a new person who is thrilled & ready to make a difference). That's when I knew it was time to go, that isn't the person I wanted to be. Just don't do it, if you can help it.
