Pros

Outdoor advertising is a no brainier compared to radio, tv, newspaper advertising so it is an easier sell and the training you receive at corporate is outstanding.

Cons

There is a lot of paperwork, reports, computer work that is needed and it takes away from selling time. Some management doesn't understand the time it takes on the computer doing proposals, making contracts, amendments, charting etc so it's a tough balance.

Pros

Enjoyed working with the majority of co-workers (not including management). Office location made for a great commute.

Cons

Terrible, unethical working environment driven by management. Religion and politics were heavily discussed in work meetings. The pay was no where it should've been for work/tasks completed. Micromanaging style. Not a female friendly company. Left the company in 2012 along with a number of other employees, all of whom cited management as their reason for leaving.

Pros

As I worked in the art department, corporate artist support resources were excellent company wide. However, at the individual plants, the artists were often treated like bad children being sent to the principal's office. I enjoyed my experience with a good group of fellow employees and a pleasant atmosphere, though.

Cons

Pay was very low with little opportunity for raises. Although the product we sold was billboard designs, artists who created the product the company based its fortunes on were treated with about the same sense of importance as the truck drivers and installers and treated as much less important than salesmen. That always struck me as odd. Account Executives were micromanaged and even though the economy was in a serious decline, they still had to meet last year's numbers, which was impossible. Random drug testing was supposed to be 'random' but clearly wasn't.
