SINKING SHIP, financial pressure, old guard resistant to change

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- you'll get to work on a cool, well-known brand - office perks: free snacks and soda, bagels, catered lunch... if you have time to eat lunch that is. - there are good and hard-working people in the middle layer there who really try

Cons

- financial pressure in the past year - funding cuts, resource shifting, hiring freezes... but increasing work - shortcuts to proper planning process, not agile - there is an entrenched old guard that is resistant to change and progressive processes - decisions are made behind closed doors by senior management level and handed down with no consultation and little room for discussion - lip-service paid to test or data-driven decision making - poor benefit package for such a large company - iHeart Media is having debt issues and you will be told not to worry, when really you should.

Pros

Somewhat modern office/technology, decent exposure to executives, that's about it.

Cons

Management in market finance team is extremely inexperienced, emotional, and easily frustrated by daily tasks. Team members back stab each other to be seen above others, all the while slaving away for hours on end with little to no benefit. General goal of the team was to automate work done by employees throughout the company so they could be terminated. Alienated employees for not being 'team players" because they had to go to doctors appointments... family dinners... catching the last bus/train before it stops running at midnight... They bully you into thinking that because it is a 'fast paced' environment, anyone not on par with their demanding expectations is not worthy of inclusion in the group. This is their own inability to teach and manage that creates this type of environment. The CFO of Stations is not as bad, but he is too busy and too uninterested to pay attention to the actions of management. Overall, the entire time is a bunch of self-important children and could use a dose of perspective.

Pros

Free concerts. That's all this company had going for it.

Cons

Worst medical benefits I have ever seen in any company. No pay rises company wide - EVER. No bonuses company wide - EVER. Burdened under $24,000,000,000 of debt ($24 billion).
