Pros

Frequent concerts to enjoy both produced by iHeart and unrelated to the company. Gorgeous office and studios. Recognized brand by the public. Bonuses and prizes for hitting benchmarks.

Cons

Starting salaries are already low. And further reduced by more than 30% after a certain amount of time for AEs. Do reputable companies do that? The 401K ,match program were disbanded. Is that a hallmark of a financially robust organization? Furthermore the frequent unnecessary meetings by management addressing AEs to make announcements create a fire-drill environment that is both exhausting and counterproductive when you're doing your account management/outreach/sales stuff. Only consider working here to learn the innerworkings of the music industry (concerts, radio, live events) to potentially leverage as a music professional or entrepreneur. Here's the major blow- you're expected to do the pre-sale, post-sale (account management), and even collect payments from your clients, The pay does NOT reflect that level of work.

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.
