Pros

I love the radio business but...

Cons

The St Louis leadership starting with Dennis L. (his wife was a manager) and now Beth D. Poor leadership. I would not follow in to battle. "Go up and down Manchester Rd. and collect business cards and bring them back." Huh?

Pros

Great brand, so solid on the resume. Generally nice people, and nice work environment if you're in NY on the corporate side. Great events, though few are actually able to attend.

Cons

Decisions come from the top, and change frequently. View employees as interchangeable/replaceable. Private equity structure creates irrational decision making, approach to partnerships. Bonuses rarely pay as forecasts always set to unachievable levels. Highly political. Few opportunities for career advancement.

Pros

Flexibility to work across department and learn from top talent. During my time at iHeartMedia, the culture changed immensely, for the positive, due to new top management. The office certainly has the best management team it has seen, but for the most part, does not have strong employees working under them. Once the sales team is stronger, the Chicago office will thrive under the leadership of the market president. Overall, it is a really fun office.

Cons

It can be difficult to move up, but if you do your job well, it will not go unnoticed. Benefits are not great, and bonuses are few and far in between. They try to do what they can at the local level, but it is very controlled by corporate. Corporate does not understand the local level, so they need to stop micro managing.
