Very disheartening on the regional level.

Pros

Awesome global company that is staying on the cutting edge of media technologies. If you want to try your hand at media sales on an entry level basis this might be an ok place to start but if you are a seasoned vet you might want to try out one of the competitors.

Cons

Beware of management, smoking mirrors and unclear goals. The tell you what you want to hear to get you in the door but the minute you express concerns about your pay or culture they will "starve you out". The position is 100% commission but 70% of the sales team has been there for 10+ years there is not an opportunity to really secure high billing contracts. If there is an error out of your control, traffic, billing ect; management will not defend you they will push you in front of the bus. Management's concern is revenue NOT your commission so if it's good for their bonus and bad for you guess who is getting pushed in front of that bus, you. Instead of building, and supporting the sales staff they are constantly brought down and badgered. Being in a 100% commission job is hard as it is, but when you have to fight in your own home to eat it doesn't make for a very friendly work environment.

No Focus

Pros

They own more radio stations than any other company in the USA and iHeartRadio as well as concert venues, outdoor and other holdings.

Cons

Management is pulled 1000 directions, and the company feels like it's run by a bunch of AHDD ferrets on crack. One minute they want everyone focused on digital, the next minute they dream up a revenue surge concept with no structure or meaning and a week later it's all forgotten. No focus on the client and their needs. It's all about shoving something down the customers throat, then moving onto the next shiny object.

Pros

I suppose the random handouts of leftover perks (that the on-air staff didn't want) could be considered a "Pro" There were some decent people who worked there

Cons

The only thing Management cares about it how big their bonus will be (Yes - they get MAJOR annual bonuses even though people are constantly told "No can do, it's not in the budget" Competitive salaries or benefits or even bonuses for the "drones" are simply unheard of Your expected to work endless overtime (be available 24/7 & leave your family at a moment's notice) ..... without being paid overtime If you're a threat to anyone ..... start packing They NEVER thank people (unless you're on the air) HR & Management are all on the same payroll ..... HR won't help or do what's right if it goes against ANY level of Management There aren't many ethical managers there - they will throw anyone under the bus or blatantly steal ideas from someone in front of an entire meeting Retaliation is just another word for "way to get things done" at Clear Channel
