Pros

Best in class audio products with broadcast and podcast, household name, excellent digital offerings with decent attribution.

Cons

Too much "shiny object syndrome" leading to too much growth too quickly, projects are never fully "fleshed out" most things are "half baked" at best. The company neglects to invest in employees growth and understanding of products, systems, and how to navigate the enterprise. Leads to a revolving door of talent. Horrific pay structure in sales, with little to no room for growth, in other roles, there is much talk of pay increases, but seldom follow through. Local leadership is incompetent at best, and cannot/will not help you succeed. Corporate hierarchy is difficult to navigate unless you are able to find a "sponsor" to boost you along the way.

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.
