      Pros

      I really liked the organization on paper as they seemed different from other "media" companies

      Cons

      The sales department is a revolving door. Most tenured seller had been there about a year. Very low salary and no billing account list. 6 month guarantee, but takes 2 months just to ramp up. At month 4 I asked for an extension and was told no. I have sold in other major markets with great success, but upper management expectations at Salem for local salespeople are just not realistic

      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.
