Pros

Good clusters to sell, and having multiple products was a plus. Benefits were pretty good, and matching company 401k. Depending on account list, income can be decent.

Cons

Management changes meant the overall environment changed to more of a churn and burn. Management plays favoritism and if you are a favorite, then good for you, you will obtain a great account list and can do no wrong. If you are not, then you will struggle building your own list in a very fragmented medium that continues to get harder with people having so many options for music that is commercial free - MP3's, CD's, internet radio and the list goes on... Plan on long days and a lot of stress, including micro management if you are to succeed, and then sometimes even that is not enough. The industry has lost a lot of good people, and the majority are not making the 6 figures that they used to since young college grads will come do the job for 30 or 40 grand. Seniority and business acumen are not valued as they used to be.

Pros

Fun work ebvironment, on the forefront of new technologies.

Cons

If you work in sales, it is sink or swim. Training is almost non-existent. The mentality is that you are born salesperson. If you are not, it's not worth their time to teach you.

Pros

It's a great place to work if you like to drink the CC Company Kool-aid. Also, I got a decent severance package when they laid me off. However, they don't even offer that anymore. About 5 years ago they were a decent company. But now, it's a company headed for bankruptcy with no clear direction. It used to be a stable place to work, but no more.

Cons

Management doesn't know how to manage. Work duties are undefined. You're get paid less to do more. Company morale is at an all time low. Also, they've cut over 10% of their workforce just this year. They (Clear Channel) blame the economy. But the reason they're in this hole is because of their greed and mis-management.
