Pros

Renowned company, growing in some areas Opportunities (for example interviews, premieres, celebrity events) that other work experiences cannot match Decent holiday allowance

Cons

Relies on its name and strong brand awareness to such an extent that the realities of being an employee are disheartening, unrealistic in terms of salary (given the roles), and from what I witnessed leads to a 'brain-drain' effect - only the privileged can afford to begin their career (/get their foot in the door) here on the journalism side

Pros

I love working at Hearst in the Baltimore, Maryland market. I have worked for many radio stations over the past nearly 40 years and this is one of the best companies as far as working environment. I really feel cared for here.

Cons

On a personal level, I've had a hard time getting full time employment within the company, which is discouraging. Also, it takes forever for management to make hiring decisions.
