Pros

Salem Media Group is a great place to work as evidenced by the many long-time employees. Whereas in many companies there is high-turnover, people at corporate, at the stations and at other divisions have been employed for 5, 10, 20, even 30 years—many creating new, growth positions for themselves. It's great to be in a company where you can reinvent your skills and position if you want that. You probably won't find better coworkers and will have meaningful friendships with those you work with. Salem is very conducive to building authentic friendships.

Cons

It's a great place to work and in some ways can be very entrepreneurial so some people might not like that. Salem is always growing and evolving as media changes — so is always working to find ways to increase employee communication and engagement as it does.

Pros

Great supportive local environment, people called to work there to support the mission.

Cons

Corporate digital leadership is disjointed and systems are chaotic. Actual delivered campaigns are inevitably flawed and mis managed. Retaliatory, narcisstic, abusive corporate digital leadership. Constant systems changes and zero assistance in navigating. More and more digital agency and other jobs outsourced to Asia. Salespeople are exhausted and burned out by programs failing. Zero accountability taken by Ad Ops team for mistakes or extrene lag time in responses from internal automated systems. Salary cuts to 'help the company' plays on the mission minded employees, taking advantage of employees good intentions by underpaying them compared to industry. No 401K match.
