Advice to Senior Management

Take better care of your sales people. They are the reason you are still in business. Turn over wouldn't be so high if you managed other departments in the company to work more efficiently so the sales force could actually do their job and sell instead of being bogged down with other department's incompetence. Improve commission structure, it's a crime what you are paying, considering you cover no out of pocket expenses for your sales people. If you want them to be productive, don't make their job more difficult than it already is. Also, it's stupid for your sales people to have to collect money owed from clients. You should have the Accounts Recievable department handle all collections, not the sales people. It ruins the relationship between the client and the A/E when you are calling harassing them about their bill. Have someone else be the bad guy and leave the A/E out of it. And one more thing, don't charge back your sales people when a client pays their bill late. Why are you penalizing your employee? They didn't do anything wrong and how do you expect them to work for free? Some companies have longer payment cycles than others, and your sales person is not at fault. Before long they won't be working for you anymore because it is costing them and you will have lost countless of dollars hiring and training someone new that's going to most likely quit within the year because you also mistreating them. It's a vicious cycle. Learn from it.

Pros

The Miami Radio Market is like no other. When you are doing your job it is FUN FUN FUN. A dream job of sorts.

Cons

The pay is what makes it a not. Everyone treats you like a rookie even though most there didnt get college level education. The all want you to have over 10 years on the job to be able to have some kind of say.

Advice to Senior Management

Treat your lower level employees like the future of Beasley. The interns want to be there, and work there, so use that energy to mold them into your perfect future job candidate.
One important side note: You should provide every employee with access to headquarters to let them know what is going on Beasley stations. Maybe an anonymous form via email.

Pros

Large stable company. Good opportunity to learn.

Cons

very tight deadlines for the work assigned

Advice to Senior Management

Rome wasn't built in a day. Your employees are proud to work for you, but could do even better work with more time.

Pros

The employees, for the most part, work together well. Their health and 401k benefits are good. They recognize achievement with awards, not money nor promotions. I guess that's not really a good thing, then.

Cons

Senior and middle management is incompetent. They promise monetary compensation or promotions, then pretend they never said anything. They, at times, failed to pay our salaries on time. They fire and re-hire the same people over and over, and there were good reasons for those people to be fired in the first place.

Advice to Senior Management

Just be honest with your employees. Dangling a carrot and then pulling it back just leads to disgruntled employees. Also, pay your employees when you say you're paying them. Direct deposit is no different from getting a paper check. People count on direct deposit to be their on the date the company states.
