I loved the culture of the station and the ability to learn each aspect of what the other departments within the station do.

What I liked
I loved being able to work within the main office and see how the different departments cooperated together. I enjoyed also getting a firsthand view into the promotions and marketing of such a huge corporation, with an obvious impact on the lives around me. On my way to work I would always hear our stations playing!
What I wish was different
I wish I had had a little more autonomy to work on research, or perhaps explore some of the positions outside of the promotions department, like in the studio. The hours were also very sporadic and long.
Advice
I think if I had taken more initiative, I would have been able to have that autonomy that I wish I had experienced, so going forward I want to express my goals upfront.
