Pros

- you'll get to work on a cool, well-known brand - office perks: free snacks and soda, bagels, catered lunch... if you have time to eat lunch that is. - there are good and hard-working people in the middle layer there who really try

Cons

- financial pressure in the past year - funding cuts, resource shifting, hiring freezes... but increasing work - shortcuts to proper planning process, not agile - there is an entrenched old guard that is resistant to change and progressive processes - decisions are made behind closed doors by senior management level and handed down with no consultation and little room for discussion - lip-service paid to test or data-driven decision making - poor benefit package for such a large company - iHeart Media is having debt issues and you will be told not to worry, when really you should.

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

The company had really good happy hours and events to attend. Food almost everyday.

Cons

Awful management team. Everyone will plot against you if they see potential. Very political culture and one boss there is a weak male figure in the office. If he doesn’t like you all the other managers follow suit. Mind you he has no power at all yet managers at his same level report to him. Must be experienced to work there really come in with a book of business with accounts that have lots of money because that’s all they care about. They will use and abuse you then cast you to the side make sure you have a second job to lean on. Frequent layoffs no managers of color either. Lots of red flags in the begging do not ignore them.
