Typical corporate hierarchy, give us all your new accounts and goodbye! - Account Executive Clear Channel Outdoor Employee Review

Pros

Rather loose work environment, with the freedom to manage and sell with your own style. Decent commission structure for account executives, rewarding new business.

Cons

High school-ish drama and gossip within office. Fit in or you will hate your day to day. They reward new accounts handsomely, just be careful. They frequently "trim the fat" in a typical corporate manner. Bring in as much new business as possible, then get rewarded by a severance package and all your hard work & new accounts become property of the AEs with more seniority. If I could do it again... I wouldn't.

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.
