Salem Media Group reviews

Benefits are there but at a high cost to the employee. After medical insurance, I am left with less than half of my pay which makes balancing bills a constant struggle. Hourly employees depend on their pay to live and when you have to pay $500+ a month ($750+ if paid 3x within a month) for medical insurance and are only paid $12 an hour, you are left with barely anything to pay for food and housing.

The vacation time Salem gives isn't great. 20 years ago I started fresh out of college with 4 weeks "paid time off". That included everything from vacation, to sick, to bereavement, any time you took off and it was your choice how to use it. Here it's 2 weeks vacation, 6 sick days a year, so if you don't get sick a lot, it's not much. I also think they keep their salaries low by saying a position is a certain title, but giving higher title work responsibilities.
