Pros

-We use to get access to some shows and events but now the upper management teams take their own families and friends instead of hardworking employees. -The creative work is fun at first but the CCO and other C-suite execs will ruin the quality of work with their terrible ideas

Cons

-Discriminates against people of color and women. I was paid severely less than my white/male counterpart, we had the same roles/title, we had the same background experience, and we had the same years at iHeart. I saw my employees of color paid much less than their white colleagues who lacked their experience. -Extremely low pay, can take years to get a small 5K raise pushed through management -No growth potential, you can work here for 5 years and still have an entry level title but be doing senior level work -The turnaround should be telling -The C-level staff is incredibly demanding and have no respect for normal business hours and work/life balance. Expects work at all hours of the night, weekends, holidays -Was told "they should be lucky to work here" when requesting raises and promotions for the team members I managed who were still in entry-level positions but their responsibilities were senior level -Lacking in diversity and almost all men in charge -Will hire new people and pay them more instead of promoting deserving talent because it's too hard to get promotions and raises approved. Then, those new hires are trained by those that didn't get a promotion and are paid less.

Pros

Remote, only due to COVID though.

Cons

iHeartMedia will suck you dry, consume your life and drop you in a heartbeat. Work culture is toxic and demeaning. Raises do not exist, performance biased bonuses are skewed and recognition of initiative is lost. If you’ve ever wanted to feel like a cog in the machine, then take a spin in the Inside Sales division of iHeartMedia.

Pros

The digital marketing department in Nashville has many bright, talented, and fun people to work with. Sadly, many people in this department have chosen careers at other companies because of the extreme lack of professionalism they endure from the sales team and leadership. Promotions are rare, no raises were given or even discussed, and chaos is the norm. I would only recommend this position if you are hungry for more experience in digital marketing. I love my manager, but they unfortunately do not have the appropriate amount of time to devote to meaningful managing.

Cons

- Toxic work culture - Sales staff are some of the rudest, most incompetent, and unprofessional people I've ever worked with - Poor leadership - Managers are overwhelmed and cannot truly commit to mentoring or managing - Morale is low - No upward mobility
