Pros

Pay is generally below market, company has high attrition rate, and enterprise-wide initiatives are not executed well.

Cons

Company has an extremely high debt load (22 billion plus) that it keeps refinancing at high interest rates (currently 10.6 percent). Current CEO led the team that created what's considered the worst merger in the history of American business (Time-Warner/AOL). Reductions in workforce have happened at least semi-annually over the past several years, as the company finds ways to contract essential services out so that OIBDAN seems strong. The company has become quite effective at hiding these RIFs. Advancement opportunities are limited.

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
