Worst company I've ever worked for

Pros

Perks - tickets to any kind of event (but only if the person who managed those tickets likes you). There are plenty of decent and awesome people there - but not at the decision-making level.

Cons

You only matter if you're on-air or in senior management - everyone else is disposable and treated as such. Expected to put in more than 24 hours a day without compensation. No understanding from the senior management about family emergencies or sick children - Clear Channel comes first. No problem taking credit for other people's ideas.

Operates on a very lean budget and staff

Pros

iHeart is a company that prides itself on its National events, promotions and its premium streaming platform. The company benefits are good and radio in general is a really fun atmosphere to work in every day. It's not unusual to crack open beers at 5pm or have the office close early for a team bonding at a local bar. Celebrities frequently pay visits, do live performances in your office, and there are usually tickets for various events and concerts available for most people who would like them.

Cons

Iheart operates on a very lean budget compared to other media companies. They pay their promotions and marketing staff on an hourly basis and they do not want them to work over-time. The quality of staff that is willing to work under these circumstances is much lower quality than is available at other higher paying companies. The company is constantly shrinking requiring that people, especially managers, take on roles that 5 years ago would have been done by 5 people.
