Pros

Casual atmosphere - vacation or break when needed and casual work place.

Cons

Horrible pay. Overload with work, catty co workers that are very clique-ey. HORRIBLE training. None whatsoever really.

Pros

Anonymity. I'm the only person in our market who does what I do, which is a downside when you want to take a vacation but an upside because there isn't anyone looking over my shoulder questioning what I do all day. There is a wide variety of clientele so the work is never boring. This job also has a lot of perks such as in-house concerts, occasional free food, and occasional free tickets to sporting events and concerts.

Cons

Only one small raise in 8 years. I was hired as the Creative Director but it turns out I was a staff of one and, outside of web ad creation, all creative decisions for the stations were made by the Program Directors so it was, quite honestly, an empty title. I did have to manage my own work flow, which could be quite heavy at times with short turn around times and a lot of last minute projects. There is absolutely no where to move up in this company except going into sales.

Pros

We work with famous people. That's it.

Cons

Highly political. Salaries and benefits are not remotely competitive with similar companies. At a high level, very young and inexperienced people are given preferential treatment if they started as interns. This results in many people being elevated inappropriately above others who have far more experience both at iHeart and other companies, such as people who move swiftly from intern to vice president within a few years, despite a complete lack of management experience or applicable experience. An entire company operated this way = mass mismanagement of projects and budgets. Also, the company is $22 billion in debt, so nobody gets bonuses or raises.
