Pros

Medical, dental, and vision benefits are about average for 2018. Some flexibility in regards to time off and the ability to travel within market.

Cons

No clear direction on upon hiring and initial training. Extreme micro- management from general manager. Very little work life balance unless you are a member of the sale staff. Very little time off. Very little, if any, chance for advancement unless you are in sales.

Pros

A large number of very good people work for Lamar. If you have a decent Human Being for a GM you'll probably really like this Company. Do your homework.

Cons

Both the best and worst Company I've worked for..depending on the GM. It appears GM's are NOT held accountable for for breaking employment laws or Company Policy. Several complaints have made it up the chain to the RM and Corporate HR, complaints with provable merit. All have been dismissed with retaliation following to any employee suspected of complaining. If Corporate HR ever calls my advice is to not offer any information as they are not there to help resolve the situation but to protect the GM and the RM WILL know how you commented on the issue at hand. If you have a complaint worthy of HR you need a lawyer imo, if you're a bystander support the victim but don't think HR is there to help, they are not. They exist to protect the Company and by default the GM.
