Pros

The company knows where it wants to go. They are willing to provide the resources and research to help you accomplish your job.

Cons

Sometimes too much top down management. More and more mandates and fewer decisions being made locally. Seeing more and more employees on the streets through reductions in force. Stressful because of manpower challenges in some areas.

Pros

I had a good experience working at Clear Channel. Tere is A TON of money to be made-- I left making in the high 6 figures, I was just grossly disgusted with Senior Management and their lack of management. It went from being a fun place to a depressing place.

Cons

Not the best place for advancement but in NYC -- Managers don't manage. Senior sellers are the only ones making money -- everyone else is working for scraps. I left as a Senior seller and was very aware of how little some of my co workers made. Wouldn't suggest it unless you are well connected. Otherwise, you'll just be overworked and underpaid.

Pros

-Promotion from within (interns can become part-timers, part-timers can become full-timers) -The skills you learn look great on a resume -You are given a lot of responsibility and any project ideas you have are always welcome -Everyone is extremely friendly and easy to deal with overall (which has personally been the biggest plus) -Experience of working for a large entertainment and media company -Leftover tickets to local events and concerts -Great benefits (if you are young with relatively few health issues)

Cons

-No raises, not even a small cost of living increase. Be prepared to be stuck with your starting salary for years. Pay cuts have been known to happen as well. It's an open secret to never ask for more money. This is why there are no performance reviews. -Expect to be on call and answer e-mails 24/7 - or hear about it from managers if you don't. Best of luck to you if you want a personal life. -Management in the building is approachable, but they have no real power...the power lies in the faceless corporate managers that you will never see or meet. If anyone promises you anything, don't believe them. -"Too many chiefs, too few indians" - often had to report to 4+ managers for things and this can get overwhelming, especially when they are not all on the same page -Everyone does the job of about 3-4 people, the workload can be brutally crushing -Part timers really get screwed
