Pros

You get to travel a bit that about all I can positively say about Clear Channel Airports aka interspace airports

Cons

The management team couldn't manage their way out of a cardboard box much less the employees. They are completely upside down the uneducated people who have no idea how to run a company is in management and the qualified people who could manage are in low level positions. You get moved up in the company one of 2 ways either by being a favorite or friend of the upper management or by sleeping your way to the top if you are a decent looking woman. The company runs on rules from the 1970's and will not allow change because that's how they had a successful business model in the past. There is no CRMs like sales force they have a crappy house made wanna be CRM that doesn't work. The base salary is a joke at $16k now and there is no ramp up period so unless you live at home or have a wealthy spouse plan on being welfare poor for at least 4 months till your sales go through. The turn over rate is horrible the slash out performers and reward underachievers.

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.
