Pros

The iHeart name carries weight with clients and the products are actually pretty good. A few great colleagues who make the grind more bearable

Cons

Commission gets cut or “restructured” almost every year — so you end up putting in twice the work to make less money You’re basically a slave to Salesforce, buried in data entry instead of selling On top of selling, you’re chasing billing, building endless PowerPoint decks, and covering for other departments Your calendar is constantly hijacked with mandatory, time-wasting internal meetings This is not a 9-to-5 job — it’s a 24/7 grind, and don’t you dare complain or you’ll be labeled “not a team player” Management focuses on optics and control rather than supporting sales

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.
