Pros

Tenured Employees make good money

Cons

Moral is very low because of constant lies and cost-cutting by management. Management is full of micro-managing penny pinchers who lie to you constantly about changes they will never make. The company makes bank off of its high advertising rates, but pays Low Commissions to its hardest workers: The Sales Team. The company is full of dissatisfied people who sacrifice quality of life for the company, only to be treated like hourly employees who are expected to be tied to a desk from 8-5. Processes are flawed and management doesn’t even fully understand how the fulfillment process works. Selling billboards shouldn’t be a long drawn out process, but they make it hard by adding unnecessary work and forms. Salesforce is used, not to assist sales in closing more deals, but instead to belittle salespeople about key performance indicators, which management tracks to cover their own butts. Environment is non-compliant to COVID-19 and hardly anyone wants to be in the office, because sick people are in the building every day. Numerous Covid-19 cases were found in the office, however management hides the details and tells employees after these people have contaminated others! Last and certainly least is Base Salary. It’s a joke and is spun several ways to hide the fact that it’s basically $10-12 a hr plus a very low commission rate that is not only confusing, but truly is a deterrent.

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.
