Pros

401K match (pre-covid) HSA account Commuter benefits Fairly decent medical/dental benefits Given a laptop PTO (but could use some help)

Cons

If you're not a white male you're not going to get very far — especially if you're not a white male who has been working here for 30+ years. It's a boys club through and through and it's hard to break barriers and move up in the company. On that note, the CEO just boasted about iHM's FIRST-EVER maternity policy in the company's history. If that doesn't tell you everything you need to know about how they feel about people who can get pregnant, then I don't know what to tell you. I and many of my coworkers have been here for years without a pay increase and being downright told we're not getting more money while higher-ups live lavish lifestyles. Meanwhile, during the height of the pandemic three of the males on our mostly female team were given promotions and raises. HR was useless in helping pay discrimination and favoritism. Execs here treat iHM as a "you should be grateful you work here" place rather than "we're lucky to have you." Never the leader on social justice issues and responses to that such as BLM, Stop Asian Hate, etc. Waited for competition to make statements then after employees sounded off about our disappointment they finally made a blanket statement (all while getting millions of dollars off the likes of Rush Limbaugh and people like him). Uses Black employees as tokens. Even the "Chief Diversity Officer" is a white woman. Make it make sense! Most of us are still here only because we can't get out/haven't been able to find a new job. If you're thinking of working here because you'll get perks and "it can't be that bad" I'm telling you it is "that bad" and you won't get perks. Employees don't even get a free Premium iHeartRadio account let alone access to events.

Pros

Cool perks like short concerts in the office, themed parties on holidays, half days the day before each holiday, limited summer Fridays depending on your department

Cons

LOW pay - management takes advantage of young employees and pays extremely low, benefits are terrible, company completely divided depending on which department you work in

Pros

You get a paycheck; you can learn a bit about how the media advertising industry works. You work with some nice people

Cons

Too conservatively run; micromanagement; unless you’re willing to put up and shut up, all will be well. Otherwise, if you don’t believe in what you’re doing, you’re in for a real rough time.; very low morale; no innovation; IT is all Microsoft and much of it is outdated Microsoft at that; too many “vice presidents” and middle managers; radio division seems to be run like a 1970s IBM.
