Pros

Very few pros: Remote-work continued after COVID (but is supposed to discontinue soon); Flexibility to transfer departments to continue learning and develop; Resumed 401(k) matching; as long as you finish your work, there is no micro-management

Cons

Extremely low pay for the industry (negotiation is very difficult and ZERO cost-of-living adjustments); No raises in my department; No performance reviews; Measly student loan reimbursement; Low- matching for 401(k); CEO is problematic (extremely on edge about semi-true information regarding company financials, believes performance is down due to remote work and demands in-office staff when COVID proved we were capable of success remote); C-level executive WAY out of touch when it comes to speaking to the company as a whole (only sales and talent get shout-outs, rest of the lower employees get no recognition); little to no opportunity for vertical movement; some managers are hostile or extremely difficult to communicate with; lots of shifts in the company structure (lay-offs, consolidation, workflow changes); some members on team get by with minimal effort while those who stay on late and go above and beyond do not get any type of notice; consistently discusses competition and honestly it shows insecurity in Audacy's performance; they talk a big talk about changes and nothing changed that was really great except salaried employees receiving unlimited PTO

Pros

Free concert tickets now and then

Cons

If you don't have clients you're bringing with you from another media agency, don't bother starting here. You do your own onboarding, start getting pressure 1-2 months in, and if you don't have significant $ on the books after 5-6 months - they will fire you. Not to mention your sales goal is a moving target. They reserve the right to change it any time and depending on the market they may raise it hundreds of thousands of dollars within the first year. This proves to be difficult when the people who have been there for 10+ years and the national team own the biggest radio spenders in each market. You're tasked with convincing companies to spend on radio, which isn't appealing nowadays. There's a reason why markets have a core group stick around and a revolving door of new hires that fill out the staff.

Pros

Enjoy radio while you still can

Cons

Despite frequent claims that they were different than Clear Channel/iHeart Radio, they were very definitely not. Still penny-pinchers, still micro-managers with no eye toward what the community needed or wanted to hear. Immediate supervisor was a do-nothing manager eager to foist his responsibilities onto others. General manager excelled in "mushroom management": feeding employees manure and keeping them in the dark. Like iHeart, Entercom/Audacy is scrambling to keep a dying medium somewhat relevant by turning their attention toward podcasts ... which sounds fine except that they expected employees to do both radio and podcast production with no additional pay, recognition, etc.
