Pros

Many Top and Mid-level Managers.

Cons

Top heavy with too many top and mid-level managers that love very long meetings to CYA where they primarily focus on and are obsessed with B.S. KPI's that take forever for AE's to log into the clunky CRM (RAB). It takes away way too many selling hours in order for AE's to justify their existence in RAB and which lately the bean counting has gotten extreme. I feel they will be cutting jobs soon but surely it won't be these same managers, of course.

Pros

I'm proud to be joining an organization that is rooted in Christian and Conservative values. Since my first day, everyone I have met has been extremely warm, welcoming and more than happy to give advice and guidance. I'm confident I'll have an exciting career here at Salem. Plenty of mentorship to be found here. I would also like to note that my interview process was extremely welcoming, informational and personable. Everyone I met with throughout the process was very personable and I knew from the process I'd gain excellent mentorship if given the opportunity to join the team. I'm eager to learn and grow with this team.

Cons

No cons for me at this point.

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.
