Pros

You get to attend fun events at times.

Cons

Selling "media" is not really a sales job where you will learn a lot about selling. The position is more about relationships and the accounts you are given. The only way to succeed at this job is by getting rewarded by management with accounts that continually bill with reoccuring revenue. I feel bad for fresh, young people who land a job here. They typically think it's glamorous because it's "radio." Most new people last about one year, and once they are not on a guaranteed salary - they leave. Management is also pretty "old school" in their ideas. Rules are often bent here and there depending on the person.

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.
