Pros

The industry is strong and the products are great. The marketing team from the CMO to marketing managers are really good and want only to help the sales teams. Corporate level leadership seems to be good. Somewhat inspiring and motivating. They seem to have some empathy and understanding of what it's like to be a sales person. The resources for sales ramp and selling are pretty good.

Cons

The internal operations/workings are extremely nuanced. There are many ways to do the same thing and depending on the tenure of the team, they know all the ways or they may only know one way to get things done. The local sales management is TERRIBLE. The VP of Sales has a chip on her shoulder, is condescending, arrogant, aggressive AND passive aggressive. She speaks to all levels of team members and clients alike in the same condescending tone. Do not work for her if you want to grow your sales skills. She is not the person, unless you want to lead a team into the ground. She's lost almost a half a dozen people in under two years.

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.
