      A wonderful "family" but not an "easy" job

      Pros

      The people at Salem from the top down really live the companies mission and that goes a long way. My director supervisors are always there with some nice words of encouragement when I've had a difficult day "pounding the pavement" for advertising clients. They always lead with the carrot and never with the stick and they provide ample opportunities for training. They also know the importance of putting family first. My co-workers have a team mentality, which can be rare in advertising sales.

      Cons

      As a large, publicly traded company, there can sometime be annoying bureaucracy, but that's par for the course I'm sure. As a Christian/conservative format it can be a difficult sell to advertisers, especially in the liberal, un-churched city of Seattle. In Seattle, the stations are also smaller, making the sell harder.

      Pros

      I have direct access to top level management. I get direct feedback on my ideas input and suggestions. All the opportunity the company has is open to me. There is a constant effort to better our skills, training and effectiveness. There is always a challenge to be better, reach for more and on the Christian side of our business maybe even change the world. In many ways this is a special company. The President of the Radio Division (my division) came to visit my market and visit with my sales team. He some days later followed up personal e-mails to the sales team members directly. WOW, where do you find that?

      Cons

      We're a public company and that has it's own challenges, reporting, capital limits, etc. I don't really have cons. This is a good place to be. We work hard that's for sure but, that's not a bad thing. We have to do what we have to do to deliver the results we have committed to and then a little more. But that is norm today.
