Charlotte needs help

Pros

The people that work in the building really care about their jobs and like working in radio. The benefits are the best part about working at this location.

Cons

The Team of sales staff, promotions staff, and on-air talent are great...as a Team. Yet the 2 managers in charge are very micromanaging with constant threats that an individual could lose their job at any point in time. As any employee would realize that notion is true in any place of business, managers have gone above and beyond to make it abundantly clear to the Charlotte staff through emails, remarks, and actions of management constantly, and ever so repeatedly. When you walk down the hallway, most employees are unhappy and are frightened that their jobs are constantly in jeopardy. The Charlotte branch of Entercom is the most bizarre and toxic atmosphere I have ever working in for my entire career. The managers are threatening, rude, disrespectful, and just plain unfriendly to work for and with on almost every project. The culture is a "boys club" and is not respectful to women in the workforce, even though one of the stations in the cluster has a target demographic catered to women listeners. The culture is demanding, unforgiving, and lacks any sense of respect for any employee in any department.

Pros

- Great 2 weeks training in Denver. Not meant to teach how to sell, but will teach how to communicate product knowledge and solutions that business owners will want to buy - Decent autonomy if your DSM doesn't micromanage your activity - Fair base + commissions potential depending on market - Great local Entercom radio brands that facilitate establishing trust & rapport w/ business owners - Surface Pro 2 given to work with - Great role for anyone customer oriented and capable of communicating digital marketing concepts - Professional and respected role, people love seeing the man/woman that's helping open up revenue streams

Cons

- Although having Entercom radio stations in market is a plus, Marketing Consultants will run into issue of prospecting accounts already on radio books. The payout in turn discourages the work that goes into landing existing radio advertising accounts. So new business is best bet, normally the advertisers that can't afford radio so smaller proposals and reward for just as much work - New digital marketing agency, building brand awareness. Book of business expectations however to that of well established agencies - There is no actual segmentation strategy provided, which is not a problem, if management would acknowledge it takes time to penetrate markets from scratch. Digital Marketing proposals usually work in year commitments and requires more acceptance from clients vs radio short term options and even trades. Not only are you responsible for sales, but management should take into account the trust building and educating phase before an appropriate proposal discussion can be had. You can't just "try" a digital strategy and be done once spots run out like radio, it's a year contract and most businesses have been burnt, really consider what's an appropriate sales cycle for a 12month agreement - Fulfillment of orders can lag at the slightest agency disruption. (Vendor communications, internal communication) - No space for promotion - CRM isn't the best, not the worst. - Key players that helped launch SmartReach Digital have resigned. Division in constant change and uncertainty now that it's being assimilated more into the Entercom controls.

Pros

Very fun work environment, had various tickets given to staff for free, met celebrities and sports figures. Very relaxed atmosphere and casual dress.

Cons

Did everyone else's jobs for them. I was an "assistant" but I really did the part jobs of the Account Executives that they didn't want to do. I was "let go" from my job because a previous Sales Assistant wanted their job back so my job was now theirs even though I was a better worker. Every aspect of this company is who you know and if the superiors like you or not.
