Pros

They are the premiere radio broadcasting company in the world - they are technically so far ahead of the game, no other company can touch them.

Cons

Morale is horrible, worse than anyplace else I have ever worked - including state government. They have cut their staffs back to beyond barebones, and those that remain - doing their own jobs plus several others' that were previously shown the door - are underpaid and underappreciated. I was "laid-off" after 16 years - the last five years without an increase in salary - even though I exceeded my corporate goals, one year by more than 300%. There was no bonus structure in place for my position, not even a "thanks, job well done". Even though my position was "eliminated," I found out a short time later my job title was changed and rehired within a few months. I was so blindly loyal to Clear Channel that I never took more than half of my yearly vacation, seldom took a lunch hour and rarely called in sick. I look back on that now and wonder what I was thinking.

Pros

The team is very straightforward and helpful and they are willing to give you whatever tools necesary to win. One of the best teams I have ever worked with to be honestly.

Cons

Not many but you need to be flexible with hours as this is production work but that is industry standard.

Pros

The company had really good happy hours and events to attend. Food almost everyday.

Cons

Awful management team. Everyone will plot against you if they see potential. Very political culture and one boss there is a weak male figure in the office. If he doesn’t like you all the other managers follow suit. Mind you he has no power at all yet managers at his same level report to him. Must be experienced to work there really come in with a book of business with accounts that have lots of money because that’s all they care about. They will use and abuse you then cast you to the side make sure you have a second job to lean on. Frequent layoffs no managers of color either. Lots of red flags in the begging do not ignore them.
