Pros

Having a "glamorous" job by working at a radio station, working in the entertainment industry, occasionally getting to meet music artists when when they visit the local radio station or perform at station events, occasionally you get concert tickets, large company, you can relocate in the US.

Cons

My experience working in sales at iHeartMedia has been absolutely terrible and I wouldn't recommend this job to anyone. You are constantly under large amounts of pressure to meet high sales goals by selling to calling on local businesses that view you as just another person that's trying to sell them something. You are constantly either trying to persuade people to commit to buy advertising and then once they buy, you usually have to persuade them to pay their bills. iHeart gives you a base pay with commission for your first six months and then after that it's 100% commission and very difficult to make a decent salary. Work environment is very competitive and co-workers will stab you in the back in heartbeat just so they can get ahead. Management are bullies that try to motivate you by telling you everything you need to improve on.

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.
