Pros

Fellow coworkers. All of my coworkers were willing to help teach and give advice regarding specifics to OOH. If you sell a lot of new advertisers, you can make decent money. However, most new advertisers don't have enough budget for a significant buy. They buy a one-off board for 6 months or a year and do not renew. At the end of the day, 95%+ see CCO as a sign company and that won't change.

Cons

GM of branch is a real nightmare. The entire business needs a major overhaul starting with GM. Antiquated training from the 1950's leaves AE's behind in a very competitive market. In order to be successful in today's world, AE's need to be well versed in all aspects of media. Very few AE's understand how to present media reallocation when their only training in OOH based. Corporate is completely out of touch with the day to day operations at the branches. Corporate force feeds canned training that is totally unrealistic. Forced CNA's on all new opportunities. Is this a joke? Sadly, I don't think so, but working at CCO is a joke. Did I mention that this company is facing eminent bankruptcy?!?!
