Thank you for taking the time to review Salem Media Group. While we agree that local leadership truly does care for their team, the corporate side of Salem cares just as much and has always viewed its employees as its greatest and most valuable asset. Changes that happen to our markets, whether they affect staffing or the way business is conducted, are never easy to make and we try to be as informative as we can about these decisions. If you would like to discuss this further please feel free to contact the corporate HR department at 805-233-3129 as we want to keep our Salem family happy no matter where they are located.

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.
