Pros

Great introduction into radio operations with checking off media logs and live talk show audio. There are many opportunities to grow with producing podcast versions of live radio media and potentially going into the field at events to promote the radio station. Higher ups will gladly help you if you ask for it. There is no shaming anyone at Salem Media Group for wanting to learn.

Cons

While the job itself is great, you are working with a media company that heavily produces secular and Christian far right wing media. If you can stomach it during your time of employment or want to work with said media, excellent. If you can't, find another place to work. Otherwise, this is a great spot to learn more about talk radio operations. Part time employees do not receive any benefits.

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.
