Pros

Very Few. The money is OK, but that's because I have a contract and a good lawyer.

Cons

NO recognition, NO leadership, NO appreciation, Employees are pitted against each other, benefits fade consistently, good people are laid off while mediocre people are retained. No incentive to do our best. Just marking time until something better comes along.

How to tell it like it is in today's economy=in radio and other jobs for that matter=

Part time "mall copping" and provide voice over liners, promos, etc for one of their stations

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

large company-some security there I suppose-I'm part time, so actually fairly neutral-no chance for full time here that I know of=that's really because the budget is not conducive to it - that is the reality of the situation=also, when you are coming into a company like clear channel now, there is less opportunity for full time...it's just not available...more people are voicetracking=that means there's more automation=they do the same thing at my former place of employment Meridian Broadcasting. In the future, they may only have a morning team, and possibly an afternoon "crew"-weekends will probably be most if not all on an automated system=companies save money...that's a fact!

Cons

radio is a downside these days-not like it was=automation is taking more precedence some people unfairly paid more than others..my experience at Meridian Broadcasting in Ft Myers, Fl-"laid off" after being full time for the most part in radio since 1980...You come into the "game" and you realize after being in radio for a long time, most people go no where=after all, if you get full time on=air that's considered pretty good. next step up is program director/operations manager, and obviously not everyone can or wants to do that part of the job...unless you really "rate" with management, you are obsolete before you know it...

Clear Channel

Account executive

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

The perks, the people and if you get a really good general sales manager, the mentorship. There are great people at Clear Channel. The training they provide is top notched. Advertisers have an avenue to a number of ways to get their message out effectively. The radio stations themselves are usually in the top of the ratings because they play what their listeners want to hear. Overall, there are good things about Clear Channel.

Cons

Some of the downsides of working at Clear Channel include long hours and the possibility of working under a junior sales manager who may not be willing (or able) to give attention to all sales team members. Also, there is this aspect of the accounting department in which they kick back an account for payment to the sales rep. The sales rep's job is to develop the customer relationship and keep it moving forward, not to micro-manage the accounting aspect. Yes, there will be times when the sales rep needs to make mention that the invoice is due, but it is the account department's job to follow through.
