Pros

Learned a lot about the radio industry and how everything works from programming to production and advertising. Very interesting experience in that regard.

Cons

Management has no idea what they're doing. Think "greed is good" meets high school, that is the culture here. Management takes care of their favorites who get away with everything and they're not even subtle about it. The favorites are fed the best accounts and everyone else is left to fight over the crumbs that are left. Bullying and backstabbing are practically encouraged. If you are an ethical salesperson who plays by the rules you won't last long here. It is a 100% commission sales job but you are required to attend endless meetings, you are buried in administrative work and you are micromanaged every minute of your day. This company invented the revolving door so don't bother getting to know your co-workers, half of them will be gone by lunch.

Pros

Depending on your direct manager Senior AE's are given their freedom and ability to make own schedule. Fun employees which can be fun and become life long friendships.

Cons

Awful commission plan. Anyone with a significant account list gets paid the lowest percentage possible yet these are the hardest accounts to implement due to their high amount of promotional needs. When I was hired I was promised an account list that would pay a min of 125k per year. Once I became familiar with the details of the commission breakdown I realized this list would NEVER pay out the amount I was promised.

not enough OT, some people could not work well under pressure, not enough weekends off, should hire more friendlier assistant supervisor and overall liked working there.
