Pros

Before you are hired you take the "Strengths Finder" test, it is very helpful in determining your strengths. The training is very extensive. The work atmosphere is fun for anyone in their 30's.

Cons

There is way too much time spent in meetings, about an hour a day. I felt like I spent the whole day talking about what we were going to do and then we had to find time to generate reports about what we were going to do and never had time to get any thing accomplished, other than talking about what we should do. All lead generation was done on the phone, no opportunities for face to face networking.

Pros

Great networking opportunities and learning experiences. Promotions offered and generally given to the ones most deserving of advancement. Lots of free food and promotional items.

Cons

A lot of talk but no walk. New policies and cutbacks force people to double and triple up on work without compensation or even thanks. If you work here and feel overwhelmed, LET it affect your work and they'll help you. If you kill yourself to get it done all they see is that you got it done, and miss the sacrifice you made of your health and well-being.

Pros

Working at Clear Channel was a wonderful Experience. My salary was great, my health benefits were good, and the perks of free concerts, movie premiers, meeting celebrities, and the great work dinners and lunches were even better. I loved my co-workers, and it was a very family-oriented work environment. I feel that as long as you did your job, and did it well, you had nothing to worry about come lay-off season.

Cons

While working at Clear Channel was a wonderful experience, it was a challenging experience as my position was very demanding. I felt like I was working 24/7, and I didn't have a life outside of work at all. For me, there was little to no work/life balance, and eventually it took its toll. In addition to the heavy demand of my position, Clear Channel is very political — if you aren't careful, you'll become a pawn in some political warfare of higher executives.
