Pros

iHeart is a company that prides itself on its National events, promotions and its premium streaming platform. The company benefits are good and radio in general is a really fun atmosphere to work in every day. It's not unusual to crack open beers at 5pm or have the office close early for a team bonding at a local bar. Celebrities frequently pay visits, do live performances in your office, and there are usually tickets for various events and concerts available for most people who would like them.

Cons

Iheart operates on a very lean budget compared to other media companies. They pay their promotions and marketing staff on an hourly basis and they do not want them to work over-time. The quality of staff that is willing to work under these circumstances is much lower quality than is available at other higher paying companies. The company is constantly shrinking requiring that people, especially managers, take on roles that 5 years ago would have been done by 5 people.

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
