Pros

-Tuition Reimbursement -Work/Life Balance -Strong support of professional advancement (courses, conferences, etc.) -Interesting Work -Stable (for the entertainment industry, which is largely unstable). Never felt like I was on the verge of being fired. -Progressive on HR policies -Smart Co-workers in most departments (not technology though) -Minimal Ego Issues -Lots of well earned respect for most of the the top executives. -Academic-like mindset in research and development groups.

Cons

-If you're moving up really quick in your career, you unfortunately will eventually need to leave after 3-5 years or so. -Technology/Engineering group is particularly weak in talent except for a handful of people. -You only hear larger management goals/strategies once in awhile. -They struggle with new initiatives outside of their core radio ratings business...nearly all eventually flop. -Could benefit from some entrepreneurial spirit. -Management is too distant from what the regular employee knows.
