Pros

Being able to travel on their dime and work with some cool people are the only pros to working for this company. Those that say otherwise are probably lifers who are set or management trying to make things appear better than they are.

Cons

Where do I start. 1. Very low base salary 2. Low commissions and commission payouts are paid out over the term of the contract. Example: you sell a 3 year contract with a total value of $50k. Paid at 5%= $2500 commission, but they then divide that by 36 months, so you're paid $69.44 per month over the course of 3 years! 3. If you sell a contract that was paid in full by the client they still pay your commission on a monthly basis based on the contract term instead of in full, as they were paid. 4 Absolutely no sales incentives. 5. Airport markets are small, which means price points and commissions are small 6. Benefits are sub par 7. Management is a joke. They have got to be the most uninformed group of people ever. They have been with the company so long and without outside leadership training that they have no idea of how to do anything as it relates to their HCM. Simple things such as proper communication, being HR savvy, being open to new ideas and ways of doing things, etc. 8. Training is a joke. There is no coaching, developing, mentoring, etc. They show you their antiquated systems/processes, give you a laptop and phone and leave you to your own devices. Your set up for failure, especially for those with no sales experience. They don't offer assistance if you dont ask. But of course they expect you to bring in business 9. No documented policy and procedures. Probably because they have no HR dept. 10. Their stock price says it all. 11. They're cash strapped and it shows

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.
