Pros

Laid back "Startup" environment Talented team

Cons

No cost of living increases No rollover of unused vacation days - use it or lose it They have their own healthcare plan - try explaining that to people. Obsessed with brand recognition rather than actually good services/user experiences

Pros

Fun business. Who doesn't love music? 5 paid days off for volunteer activities is the best benefit. Bands come and play every so often. Food is brought in a lot.

Cons

Executive management jets around the world on private planes and rewards themselves with annual bonuses but somehow the rank and file employees can't get annual pay raises? Yes, really. I'm surprised that there are any employees left. The health insurance is a joke. Budget is cut to the bone for equipment and supplies.

Pros

As a creative, you'll get exposure and the opportunity to learn to design for plenty of different/major platforms and mediums. iHeart can also look great on your resume. The team dynamic and camaraderie can be great and a lot of fun. Work/life balance can't be beat. Project managers are really quite amazing. Annual bonuses can be nice.

Cons

As a creative, the work you're most proud of will likely be neutered by executives who have no vision, or worse, your best work may never see the light of day. Aspirations to produce a better product are often quashed by either deprecated business models or execs protecting their teams' lack of skills. Sometimes, deadlines come hard and fast and with little direction. There's basically no opportunity to grow and learn as a creative. There have been times when teammates have been thrown under the bus to protect higher-ups. The same higher-ups will try to convince you you'll never earn more than the mid-range salary iHeart offers; likewise, the benefits are not even competitive (poor health coverage). Cliques can run rampant within the team. Boardroom presentations can be a very toxic experience.
