Pros

The work is easy, and the pay isn't too bad. Depending on what you do, the work/life balance is great. Occasional opportunities to travel and attend events.

Cons

They don't really care about their employees. I witnessed several rounds of layoffs during my handful of years here, and the reactions of my bosses and higher-ups were always apathetic and focused on what's "best for the business." They don't do yearly reviews or raises. I even got a promotion without a raise. After being laid off without any prior warning, they only gave me 4 weeks of pay as severance. I also felt like everyone was pretty mediocre at their jobs, partly because of the company culture. One executive actually told us the company prides itself on running "mean and lean." I came away from the job with very few new skills. Work here if you need a steady income as soon as possible, but keep your options open. They don't care about you.

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
