Pros

I work on the National Sales team and overall I love working for iHeart. My team is great, someone is always willing and able to answer a question or help you out. There is a ton of work/life balance, you rarely ever work late but even when you do, there are plenty of days where things or slow and I can log off early so it all evens out. The benefits are pretty standard and pre-covid the company offers a lot of fun events to attend. The pay for the role is pretty average, but I've definitely had worse. All in all, it's a positive environment to be in on a daily basis.

Cons

Don't love being paid hourly and having to submit a timecard. The process is tedious and kind of silly seeing as we are never going to log less than 40 hours a week, but we can't log overtime either. Some of the local station NSAs that we work with every day are less than helpful. Some are absolutely great! But overall there seems to be a divide between some of the departments at iHeart and I can't understand why. It's a massive company so even though these people are technically your coworkers, it doesn't always feel that way.

Good stepping stone

Pros

This role is demanding and you definitely need experience in media before taking it. It’s a good place to get experience and move on.

Cons

A lot of work for okay pay. Bonus structure is a mess. Working on a national team but there are no protocols set in place to streamline media assets. Generates duplication of effort and wasting time.

Ambitious Employees; Beware.

Pros

Best in class audio products with broadcast and podcast, household name, excellent digital offerings with decent attribution.

Cons

Too much "shiny object syndrome" leading to too much growth too quickly, projects are never fully "fleshed out" most things are "half baked" at best. The company neglects to invest in employees growth and understanding of products, systems, and how to navigate the enterprise. Leads to a revolving door of talent. Horrific pay structure in sales, with little to no room for growth, in other roles, there is much talk of pay increases, but seldom follow through. Local leadership is incompetent at best, and cannot/will not help you succeed. Corporate hierarchy is difficult to navigate unless you are able to find a "sponsor" to boost you along the way.
