Pros

Good middle management team but terrible upper management.

Cons

Company has no regard for employee safety. Requires employees to come to work even though the whole city of Charlotte is shut down due to snow. There is capability to work from home but management does not allow. If we work from home it is personal time off even though there is black ice on the roads. We have to book every hour of our time and projects to make our "8 hours" per day. No flexibility at all even though we are salaried. 70% or more turnover in this department yet management blames it on other companies paying more money rather than reflecting on what they are doing wrong. Health care sucks and 401k match is a joke. No career opportunities as other departments don't like to promote people outside of their own department.

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.
