Pros

Many good people who make coming to work bearable. The perks are pretty decent. Occasional free tickets to concerts and events.

Cons

Managers play favorites. Some new account executives are given existing accounts, resulting in immediate revenue, while others have to start from nothing. Constant stream of people coming in for job interviews, which isn't good for morale. Upper management doesn't really care about the average AE.

Pros

The team is very straightforward and helpful and they are willing to give you whatever tools necesary to win. One of the best teams I have ever worked with to be honestly.

Cons

Not many but you need to be flexible with hours as this is production work but that is industry standard.

Pros

Vast Resources available, biggest player in radio, multiple opportunities for growth, commissions and bonuses among the best out there

Cons

Very minimal base salary for sales positions, surprisingly low for national account executives. Moving goal posts all the time as well on performance and there's usually a sense of angst wondering if middle management positions will get eliminated at any time
