Pros

Most employees have a team mentality. Leadership is very encouraging, motivating, and supportive. The work is challenging and rewarding. There is a fair amount of acknowledgement and bonuses for a job well done. Employees have a good amount of freedom to accomplish the task for which they are responsible - allowing room for individuals to achieve goals in a way that works best for them. Supposedly, there is a stellar training program, though due to being hired just prior to Covid, I did not have the opportunity to experience the program. However, there is a multitude of training videos that are helpful and informative. Overall, Salem Media is a great place for a "team" player.

Cons

The company is in the process of moving to a more technological mindset. The adjustment and changes sometimes create friction - change is good and necessary for growth. However, change can create additional challenges to an already challenging job. There are many changes happening for the better and once everything is settled, this "con" will rectify itself. The company stopped allowing expense reports - no longer reimbursing for mileage, business expenses (clients do not understand that a "lunch meeting" falls on the sales rep), and cell phone reimbursement was no longer allowed - due to Covid.

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.
