Pros

There are some great people here in the support departments...web, production, HR, IT, etc. But this place is ruled by the sales staff because nothing matters but the bottom line. The problem is, is that the sales staff is the highest turn over job that literally anyone can walk in the door and get. So some of the people...are not bright.

Cons

Management consists of complete idiots who were sales people that moved up. Example: I have had to explain to a 50 year old adult sales manager that yes, if you want people to see the link in your email, you just send it to them and they can click on it and see the link. I don't understand how someone can be an adult in 2013 and not know how to use a computer, even basic functions like email. Also, there is zero room for advancement if you are not in sales. And there are some program directors that do absolutely nothing.

Pros

Clear Channel is a fun work environment, with no commission cap. It is possible to make very good money.

Cons

Senior Leadership is completely out of touch with what's going on in local markets. Bonus incentives were taken away for sales reps, and too much micro managing.

Pros

I enjoyed working in Airports but there are too many unperforming locations that cannot be sold. The environment is fun, you can get a fortunate run and make some good commissions

Cons

You have to wait for the commission pay and the salary is obscene. Many people burn out from cold calling, very few call ins. Tough environment with all the competing choices for advertising. Slow to engate new technology.
