Pros

Out of home advertising is effective and therefore the product is fantastic.

Cons

Recently a male was promoted to a position formally occupied by a female, the Branch President position in Minneapolis. In general, not an unusual event, however my advice for any female considering a management position with this company is to gain an understanding as to what the gender culture is within the company. I would ask about the quantity of female managers that have left in the past three to four years. For example, why did the female VP of Sales in Boston leave? Is the female regional manager taking a lesser role now? Why did the female VP of Sales in Las Vegas leave? Why did the female Branch President of Minneapolis leave? Why did the female VP of Sales in Chicago leave? It would be good to gain an understanding if there are a similar amount of male managers that leave. Also, it would be good to understand what the current ratio of male vs female in all the VP of Sales positions and Branch President positions company wide.

Pros

Clear Channel Outdoor’s portfolio is genuinely impressive, and being part of one of the top three brands in out‑of‑home gives the role real weight. The job is especially rewarding when you’re helping SMB clients grow their visibility and watching their businesses evolve, while also supporting major brands in staying consistent and on‑message across markets. The product itself is strong, and when you’re in front of clients, you feel the value of what you’re selling.

Cons

Compensation for account executives could be more competitive, especially given the expectations and revenue responsibilities of the role. Improving base pay and commission structures would go a long way toward reducing the high turnover seen in many markets. Additionally, corporate tends to centralize decision‑making, which can limit local leadership’s ability to scale business based on the realities of their specific markets. Giving local teams more autonomy would create a better employee experience and ultimately drive stronger revenue performance.
