- 2.0Aug 23, 2023EngineerCurrent Employee, more than 3 years
Pros
Remote, work flexibility and work life balance. Big name Friendly people Good place to start off, but maybe not so good for career development unless you work really hard but even then you may not get the proper pay for the amount of work you do.
Cons
Lack of official career ladders and review process to allow career growth for most eng Disconnect between upper management and engineers Disconnect between HR and engineering and too many hoops for budget allocations Poor healthcare benefits Not enough incentives to keep long term engineers, leading to a lack of subject matter expertise in many areas Engineers are spread too thin over too many things Too much tech debt not enough engineering innovation opportunities
2 - 4.0Sep 9, 2023Account ManagerFormer Employee, more than 3 yearsHouston, TX
Pros
Market Manager very supportive and other office personnel too.
Cons
Only Account Managers with 20+ years with Clear Channel and now iHeart Media could live on their income. High turnover for 90% of Account Managers was directly linked to being unable to make a living pushing advertising products onto Laundromats, Phone repair shops, Shoe Repair and Dental Offices; after their salary guarantee ran out. Obviously, the few Senior Account Managers with all the major Car Dealers, Furniture stores, Jewelers and Hotels had to cut their teeth the same way, all those years ago but the inequitable distribution of accounts was a major factor in having to constantly recruit and train new Account Managers every few months.
- 1.0Jul 15, 2023EngineerCurrent Employee, more than 8 yearsOntario, CA
Pros
Management is too overworked themselves to micromanage employees.
Cons
No raises. Unless you take a massive job change. Corporate leadership is indifferent to ground level workloads, or inept at lightening them. When talented people get job offers elsewhere, the company has taken the arrogant position of "don't let the door hit you." They used to recognize key talent and work to keep them. Over the past 3 years, the company has put enormous effort into devaluing every job role in an effort to standardize everything humanly (or digitally) possible. As a result, most newer staff is indifferent to the health of the company or quality of thier work.
4 - 2.0Jul 22, 2023Digital Account ExecutiveCurrent Employee, more than 1 year
Pros
The people are great. There are good sales people to learn from if this is your goal. Lax management for me, they let me travel whenever as long as I gave notice. Willing to hold your hand but turns into a con when they will do so indefinitely. I had to be assertive about taking charge of my meetings.
Cons
Only 5 vacation days in the first 6 months. Slowly moving to in office again. This position was monotanous and I did not feel challenged. My team was compensated with gift cards rather than bonuses and we were taxed on them so our paychecks were lower and we had gift cards to places we didn't even enjoy. Cut our 401K matches as well and many in person events that brought the team together.
2 - 5.0Sep 19, 2023Research AnalystCurrent Employee, more than 1 yearCincinnati, OH
Pros
-Fun environment -upper management is fair and helps you find a path to grow
Cons
-the industry is challenging right now so you need to stay on your toes to plan for the future
- 2.0May 25, 2023Senior Information Security AnalystFormer Employee, more than 3 yearsSan Antonio, TX
Pros
The staff and peers are great. The company used to be great before COVID. Multiple food trucks, office events, etc. Great work life balance.
Cons
When you get hired, there are no raises, ever. Not even cost of living raises. You hit your ceiling day one. PTO is given annually up front. This means you don't earn it over time, so if you leave the company, you don't get that time off as money. You lose it. And if you don't use it for the year, it doesn't roll over. Company is in a financial crisis and has been laying people off since February. They have been doing it in small groups over time so that it doesn't hit the news. Senior leadership are a bunch of crooks. Out of the 4 years I was there, only 1 bonus was paid out. The other years they didn't pay because of COVID or the economy. Also, they stopped matching their 5% 401k matching all through COVID. Brought it back for a few months, then turned it back off again because of their negative financial situation. Toxic leadership.
7 - 1.0Sep 12, 2023Account ExecutiveCurrent Employee, more than 1 yearCleveland, OH
Pros
Not that much to go on here, other than the coffee is okay.
Cons
Extreme favoritism by managers. Leads are highly guarded. Everytime you think you have something to pursue it’s being worked on by someone else or will be given to someone else. Everyone there has a very pretentious attitude. New hires get no help on training at all. Good luck.

Pros
Good money, make your own schedule
Cons
snakes in the business, pressure, competitive
