iHeartMedia reviews

The company is in an inordinate amount of debt. As a result, the execs task their markets with unreasonably high budgets year after year. In the age of digital advertising, there are SO many other options for businesses to spend their hard earned advertising dollars. Advertising on terrestrial radio peaked in the 90's / early 2000's, when there weren't nearly as many options, and the company was too late to the game with their digital offerings. It gets harder year after year to meet budgets. Couple that with commission cuts in local markets and you're left feeling under-appreciated and stressed out. Also, the health benefits aren't at all competitive. A health savings account is your only option, and the company quit contributing to the HSA's in 2015. Sales development and training is non-existent. So, if you're considering taking a sales job here and you have no radio sales experience, I highly recommend you reconsider.

Managers play favorites. Some new account executives are given existing accounts, resulting in immediate revenue, while others have to start from nothing. Constant stream of people coming in for job interviews, which isn't good for morale. Upper management doesn't really care about the average AE.
