Pros

If you are young and just starting out, then the iHeartmedia brand on your resume is great. Get in, get what need for your resume and skillsets, then parlay that to go to a company where you can make real money and have long term growth.

Cons

Don't keep their promises. If you are told that they will give your established ad accounts, get it in writing and signed. Otherwise, convenient amnesia will set in.You are screwed if given a manager who knows nothing about the industry. They will not be accountable. Doesn't pay enough money for the hassle. New sales reps turnover is high. Those who stay have been in the radio industry for years and it's probably too difficult to start over. Everyone else quickly realizes that they can take their sales skills elsewhere get paid reasonable base and commission.

Pros

The team is very straightforward and helpful and they are willing to give you whatever tools necesary to win. One of the best teams I have ever worked with to be honestly.

Cons

Not many but you need to be flexible with hours as this is production work but that is industry standard.

Pros

The company had really good happy hours and events to attend. Food almost everyday.

Cons

Awful management team. Everyone will plot against you if they see potential. Very political culture and one boss there is a weak male figure in the office. If he doesn’t like you all the other managers follow suit. Mind you he has no power at all yet managers at his same level report to him. Must be experienced to work there really come in with a book of business with accounts that have lots of money because that’s all they care about. They will use and abuse you then cast you to the side make sure you have a second job to lean on. Frequent layoffs no managers of color either. Lots of red flags in the begging do not ignore them.
