Pros

Radio is supposed to be fun. Salem is one of the few big box companies that hasn't forgotten that. Not only are they a great company to work for, but being a Christian company makes it even better. It's a very positive work environment for both Christian and non-Christian employees.

Cons

Radio jobs no longer pay well, thanks to Corporate radio companies. The pay is not that great, however, compared to other radio companies, you may be able to score a buck or two more than your counterparts at the other big box radio companies.

Pros

Great supportive local environment, people called to work there to support the mission.

Cons

Corporate digital leadership is disjointed and systems are chaotic. Actual delivered campaigns are inevitably flawed and mis managed. Retaliatory, narcisstic, abusive corporate digital leadership. Constant systems changes and zero assistance in navigating. More and more digital agency and other jobs outsourced to Asia. Salespeople are exhausted and burned out by programs failing. Zero accountability taken by Ad Ops team for mistakes or extrene lag time in responses from internal automated systems. Salary cuts to 'help the company' plays on the mission minded employees, taking advantage of employees good intentions by underpaying them compared to industry. No 401K match.
