Pros

Monthly catered lunches with all the staff. Good company for entry level, recent grads to gain experience. Ability to work with talented and hard working people.

Cons

Pay rate, especially for part-timers who make of majority of the company, is extremely low. McDonald's offers more compensation that Radio One. Cost of living raises have not been approved in years, however the president received a 1.25 million bonus recently. Inadequate and outdated resources and technology. Outdated studio equipment and computers. General Managers with no financial acumen/ business knowledge. Stations not making revenue which causes them to become desperate and give away the product. Biased HR who have no problem over looking issues until it becomes a lawsuit.
