Pros

In top 10 markets with some nice inventory

Cons

Pay cut after pay cut. It was supposed to get better after separating from iHeartMedia and has gotten much worse for AE’s. Several pay cuts some in same year. Small base and very low commission percentage. Every year you wonder how will they cut commissions again. No one in the corporate office has sold a Outdoor and it shows. Morale as you can imagine is extremely low. Sales people have lost all respect for management

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.
