Pros
OOH is a great industry and it is full of long time (lifers) who are administrative, operations or sales. The people who know the business are some of the finest in all of media. Casual work environment, opportunities to work from home.
Cons
The same great people are the ones who are constantly under the threat of being let go because the company is in such a dire financial situation. Constantly changing corporate management, continuing to hire outside the company without success. There are very few, if any, opportunities to move up in the company. The benefit package has gotten worse each year as has the compensation plan. The comp plan is not even close to that of others in the industry. The focus has shifted to mostly national business and the local, bread and butter markets/accounts are suffering because of it. The growing lack of trust is rampant in most markets. It used to feel like a family and everyone worked towards a common goal, but now it is every person for him/herself. Also, car allowance has been taken away, no cell phone reimbursement for sales, and the list goes on. Everything changed when CC was sold to Bain Capital.
