New managers were hired who were way out of depth, made several mistakes on their first few months and always passed the book of blame down to their team. I had clear evidence of who was causing issues and foreshadowing what was about to happen but the team would be given warnings. When I raised complaint to HR I had the situation flipped and was invited to a video call, a written warning was given even though a group of staff had raised concerns about the issuer themselves. 4 seasoned staff eventually left after being treated the same and they are hiring minimum wage replacements instead.

The other teams you share an office with a vibrant, supportive, always open for a chat and want to help build a positive and market leading brand.

Very little pay reward, they start at minimum wage and don't offer any opportunities to progress apart from leaving the department

Each day at work was different for me. Some days would be office based, taking calls from clients and preparing sales pitches for them. This would involve pulling together research and ideas for creative radio airtime campaigns. 
Other days I would be travelling to visit agencies and clients and update them with the latest radio news and give them ideas for campaigns, give them reasons to use radio in their marketing plans.

Even as recently as a 1.5 yrs ago I would have recommended working here wholeheartedly. but not anymore. The culture is in steady decline, redundancies happen at random. The pay was always bad, but at least you had lovely colleagues. Now most of them got laid off. No one understands or trusts the managment, the structure is confusing and the direction unclear. Disappointing. Looking for other places to work. 

Great people to work with in a close knit and co-operative and productive team. 
Moved as salary was low and there were greater benefits elsewhere. Low paying for the industry. I was also on fixed term contract. Managers were great and couldn’t do enough for me, company looks after you and is a positive place to work. 

9-5:30 is a typical day. Always chasing down revenue for little reward and no bonuses for the hours and stress.  
Difficult to progress or grow within your role 
Workplace culture isn’t great especially since covid. Hybrid working is accepted 
Sell great brands 


I was providing 1st and 2nd line support mainly for publishing and product issues.
I learned a bit of Casper and a bit of Censhare (publishing asset management).
Co-workers are very friendly and helpful. The designers and editors are very friendly.

A good place to work, both the people and the office environment are relaxed but focused. Good work/life balance and a supporting team ethic. Would work here again if the opportunity ever arose.

Bauer's established brands across the Radio and Magazine market meant that my job was highly varied ,complex and busy. The knowledge and skills acquired during my time are second to none in this industry.

Bauer Media is full of creative individuals that all work together to achieve goals. 
You really feel like part of the family as soon as you join, I feel supported and heard in my role. 

Loved working there, only left due to redundancy. They value the people who work for them, and it is very professional. Managers and Directors within my section were very good, and you felt listened too.
